First version
1 O Lord our governor, ♦
how glorious is your name in all the world!
2 Your majesty above the heavens is praised ♦
out of the mouths of babes at the breast.
3 You have founded a stronghold against your foes, ♦
that you might still the enemy and the avenger.
4 When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, ♦
the moon and the stars that you have ordained,
5 What is man, that you should be mindful of him; ♦
the son of man, that you should seek him out?
6 You have made him little lower than the angels ♦
and crown him with glory and honour.
7 You have given him dominion over the works of your hands ♦
and put all things under his feet,
even the wild beasts of the field,
9 The birds of the air, the fish of the sea ♦
and whatsoever moves in the paths of the sea.
10 O Lord our governor, ♦
how glorious is your name in all the world!
