2. From infants' and from sucklings' mouththou didest strength ordain,For thy foes' cause, that so thou might'stth' avenging foe restrain.
3. When I look up unto the heav'ns,which thine own fingers fram'd,Unto the moon, and to the stars,which were by thee ordain'd;
4. Then say I, What is man, that heremember'd is by thee?Or what the son of man, that thouso kind to him should'st be?
5. For thou a little lower hasthim than the angels made;With glory and with dignitythou crowned hast his head.
6. Of thy hands' works thou mad'st him lord,all under's feet didst lay;
7. All sheep and oxen, yea, and beaststhat in the field do stray;
8. Fowls of the air, fish of the sea,all that pass through the same.
9. How excellent in all the earth,Lord, our Lord, is thy name!
