English.png English text

O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
who hast set thy glory above the heavens.
When I consider Thy heavens,
the work of Thy fingers,
the moon and the stars,
what is man that thou art mindful of him?
For though hast made him a little lower then the angels,
and hast crowned him with glory and honor.
Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of Thy hands;
thou hast put all things under his feet:
What is man that Thou art minful of him?
O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
