Mans Place In Gods World


O Lord, our God, how glorious

Is thy name in all the earth!



Thou hast spread thy splendor over the heavens;

At the cry of babes and infants

Thou hast set up a bulwark, because of thine enemies,

To silence the foe and avenger.



When I see thy heavens, the work of thy fingers,

The moon and stars which thou hast made;

What is man that thou art mindful of him;

Or the son of man that thou visitest him?



Yet thou hast made him little less than divine,

And hast crowned him with glory and honor,

Making him lord of creation,

So that all things are subject to him.



The sheep and the oxen, all of them,

Yes, and the beasts of the field,

The birds of the air and the fish,

That dart through the paths of the sea.



O Lord, our God, how glorious

Is thy name in all the earth!
