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.

For I will consider thy heavens, even the works 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!

I will give thanks unto thee, O Lord, with my whole heart  *

even before the gods will I sing praise unto thee.

I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy Name, because of thy loving-kindness and truth *

for thou hast magnified thy Name and thy word above all things.

When I called upon thee, thou heardest me *

and enduedst my soul with much strength.

All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O Lord *

for they have heard the words of thy mouth.

Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the Lord *

that great is the glory of the Lord.

For though the Lord be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly *

as for the proud, he beholdeth them afar off.

Though I walk in the midst of trouble, yet shalt thou refresh me *

thou shalt stretch forth thy hand upon the furiousness of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.

The lord shall make good his loving-kindness toward me *

yea, thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever; despise not then the works of thine own hands.
