To the chief Musician upon Gittith. A Psalm of David

Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: O Lord our Lord, in all the earth, How doth thy name excel? Lyrics: 1 O Lord our Lord, in all the earth, How doth thy name excel? Who hast above the heavens set Thy Majesty to dwell! 2 Out of the mouth of sucking babes Thou fittest strength also, That thou might'st still thine enemies And self-revenging foe. 3 When as thy heavens I behold, Thy fingers work which are: The moon together with the stars, The which thou didst prepare: 4 O what is wretched man that thus In mind thou should'st him have? And what the son of man whom thou To visit dost vouchsafe? 5 For than the angels thou hast him, A little made more low; With glory thou hast crowned him, With majesty also. 6 About thy handy-works thou hast Given him dominion; All things thou hast under his feet Put in subjection. 7 The sheep and oxen all of them Also the field-beast; yea 8 The fowls that in the air do fly, And fishes of the sea; Of those that pass through paths of seas, What thing soever else. 9 The Lord, our Lord, in all the earth, O how thy name excels!

A Psalm of David

Hymnal: The Psalms Hymns and Spiritual Songs of the Old and New Testament, faithfully translated into English Metre #PVIII (1773) First Line: O LORD, our Lord, in all the earth Lyrics: 1 O LORD, our Lord, in all the earth how does thy name excel! Who high above the heav'ns hast set thy majesty to dwell. 2 From mouths of babes and sucklings thou dost pow'r and praise ordain; That thou may'st still thine enemies, and spiteful foes restrain. 3 When I thy glorious heav'ns behold, thy fingers work divine, The moon and stars which thou hast set in order as they shine; 4 O what is wretched man that thou should'st have him in thy mind, And Adam's son, that thou should'st be to visit him so kind? 5 For than the Angels thou hast him but little lower made; With glory and with majesty thou crowned hast his head. 6 To Him dominion Thou hast giv'n over thy works below; Under his feet hast put them all, to him hast made them bow. 7 Both all the tamer flocks and herds, wild beasts that range more free, 8 Swift in the air the fowls that fly, and fishes of the sea. 9 Yea those that make great paths along the sea, and pass the same O LORD, our Lord, in all the earth, how excellent thy name!
