How Majestic Is Your Name
To the choirmaster: according to The (A)Gittith.[a] A Psalm of David.
8 O Lord, our Lord,
how majestic is your (B)name in all the earth!
You have set your (C)glory above the heavens.
2 (D)Out of the mouth of babies and infants,
you have established (E)strength because of your foes,
to still (F)the enemy and the avenger.
3 When I (G)look at your heavens, the work of your (H)fingers,
the moon and the stars, (I)which you have set in place,
4 (J)what is man that you are (K)mindful of him,
and (L)the son of man that you (M)care for him?
5 Yet you have made him a little lower than (N)the heavenly beings[b]
and crowned him with (O)glory and honor.
6 You have given him (P)dominion over the works of your hands;
(Q)you have put all things under his feet,
7 all sheep and oxen,
and also the beasts of the field,
8 the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea,
whatever passes along the paths of the seas.
9 O Lord, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!
12 “Have you (A)commanded the morning since your days began,
and caused the dawn to know its place,
13 that it might take hold of (B)the skirts of the earth,
and the wicked be (C)shaken out of it?
14 It is changed like clay under the seal,
and its features stand out like a garment.
15 From the wicked their (D)light is withheld,
and (E)their uplifted arm is broken.
12 (A)which is why I suffer as I do. But (B)I am not ashamed, for (C)I know whom I have believed, and I am convinced that he is able to guard until (D)that day (E)what has been entrusted to me.[a] 13 (F)Follow (G)the pattern of (H)the sound[b] words (I)that you have heard from me, in (J)the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. 14 By the Holy Spirit (K)who dwells within us, guard (L)the good deposit entrusted to you.
