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 clap your hands together, all ye people  *

O sing unto God with the voice of melody.

For the Lord is high, and to be feared *

he is the great King upon all the earth.

He shall subdue the people under us *

and the nations under our feet.

He shall choose out an heritage for us *

even the worship of Jacob, whom he loved.

God is gone up with a merry noise *

and the Lord with the sound of the trump.

O sing praises, sing praises unto our God *

O sing praises, sing praises unto our King.

For God is the King of all the earth *

sing ye praises with understanding.

God reigneth over the heathen *

God sitteth upon his holy seat.

The princes of the people are joined unto the people of the God of Abraham *

for God, which is very high exalted, doth defend the earth, as it were with a shield.
