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!

O praise the Lord of heaven  *

praise him in the height.

Praise him, all ye angels of his *

praise him, all his host.

Praise him, sun and moon *

praise him, all ye stars and light.

Praise him, all ye heavens *

and ye waters that are above the heavens.

Let them praise the Name of the Lord *

for he spake the word, and they were made; he commanded, and they were created.

He hath made them fast for ever and ever *

he hath given them a law which shall not be broken.

Praise the Lord upon earth *

ye dragons, and all deeps;

Fire and hail, snow and vapours *

wind and storm, fulfilling his word;

Mountains and all hills *

fruitful trees and all cedars;

Beasts and all cattle *

worms and feathered fowls;

Kings of the earth and all people *

princes and all judges of the world;

Young men and maidens, old men and children, praise the Name of the Lord *

for his Name only is excellent, and his praise above heaven and earth.

He shall exalt the horn of his people; all his saints shall praise him *

even the children of Israel, even the people that serveth him.
