The Eighth Psalm

Domine, Dominus noster.


O LORD our Governor, how excellent is thy Name in all the world; * thou that hast set thy glory above the heavens!
 
Out of the mouth of very babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength, because of thine enemies, * that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
 
When I consider thy heavens, even the work of thy fingers; * the moon and the stars which thou hast ordained;
 
What is man, that thou art mindful of him? * and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
 
Thou madest him lower than the angels, * to crown him with glory and worship.
 
Thou makest him to have dominion of the works of thy hands; * and thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet:
 
All sheep and oxen; * yea, and the beasts of the field;
 
The fowls of the air, and the fishes of the sea; * and whatsoever walketh through the paths of the seas.
 
O LORD our Governor, * how excellent is thy Name in all the world!
