How Majestic Is Your Name

For the choir director. According to the Gittith. A Psalm of David.

O Yahweh, our Lord,

How majestic is Your name in all the earth,

Who ¹^adisplays Your splendor above the heavens!

^aFrom the mouth of infants and nursing babies You have established ¹^bstrength

Because of Your adversaries,

To make ^cthe enemy and the revengeful cease.

When I ^asee ^bYour heavens, the work of Your fingers,

The ^cmoon and the stars, which You have established;

^aWhat is man that You remember him,

And the son of man that You care for him?

Yet You have made him a ^alittle lower than the ¹angels,

And ^bYou crown him with ^cglory and majesty!

You make him to ^arule over the works of Your hands;

You have ^bput all things under his feet,

All sheep and oxen,

And also the animals of the field,

The birds of the heavens and the fish of the sea,

Whatever passes through the paths of the seas.

^aO Yahweh, our Lord,

How majestic is Your name in all the earth!

Genesis 1:26-28

Gen 1Gen 2 »

26 Then God said, “Let ^aUs make ^bman in Our image, according to Our likeness, so that they will have ^cdominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the ¹sky and over the cattle and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 27 And God created man ^ain His own image, in the image of God He created him; ^bmale and female He created them. 28 God blessed them, and God said to them, “^aBe fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the ¹sky and over every living thing that creeps on the earth.”
