psalm

The Lord’s Greatness

For the director of music. On the gittith. A psalm of David.

Lord our Lord,

your name is the most wonderful name in all the earth!

It brings you praise in heaven above.

You have taught children and babies

to sing praises to you

because of your enemies.

And so you silence your enemies

and destroy those who try to get even.

I look at your heavens,

which you made with your fingers.

I see the moon and stars,

which you created.

But why are people even important to you?

Why do you take care of human beings?

You made them a little lower than the angels

and crowned them with glory and honor.

You put them in charge of everything you made.

You put all things under their control:

all the sheep, the cattle,

and the wild animals,

the birds in the sky,

the fish in the sea,

and everything that lives under water.

Lord our Lord,

your name is the most wonderful name in all the earth!
