Priestly Creation Song

1 Yahweh, Our Lord,
how majestic is your name
in all the earth,
who has set your glory
above the heavens.

2 From the mouth of babes and infants
you have established strength,
because of your adversaries,
to put to rest the enemy and the avenger.

3 When I see your heavens,
the works of your fingers,
the moon and the stars
which you have ordained,
4 what is man that you remember him?
Or the son of man that you visit him?

5 You have made him a little lower
than the gods,
and with glory and honor
you have crowned him.

6 You have made him to rule
over the works of your hands.
You have put all things under his feet,
7 all sheep and oxen,
and also the beasts of the field,
8 the bird of the heavens
and the fish of the sea,
what passes through the paths of the sea.

9 Yahweh, Our Lord,
how majestic is your name
in all the earth.
