Psalm 8
Domine, Dominus noster
1
O Lord our Governor, how excellent is your Name in all the world; *
you have set your glory above the heavens!
2
Out of the mouth of babes and infants you have ordained strength, because of your enemies, *
that you might still the enemy and the avenger.
3
When I consider your heavens, even the works of your fingers, *
the moon and the stars, which you have ordained.
4
What is man, that you are mindful of him; *
the son of man, that you visit him?
5
You made him little lower than the angels, *
to crown him with glory and honor.
6
You made him to have dominion over the works of your hands, *
and you have put all things in subjection under his feet;
7
All sheep and oxen, *
even the beasts of the field;
8
The birds of the air, and the fish of the sea; *
and whatsoever walks through the paths of the seas.
9
O Lord our Governor, *
how excellent is your Name in all the world!
Psalm 47
Omnes gentes, plaudite
1
O clap your hands together, all you peoples; *
O cry aloud unto God with shouts of joy.
2
For the Lord Most High is to be feared; *
he is the great King over all the earth.
3
He shall subdue the peoples under us, *
and the nations under our feet.
4
He shall choose our inheritance for us, *
the pride of Jacob whom he loved.
5
God has gone up with a shout of triumph, *
the Lord with the sound of the trumpet.
6
O sing praises, sing praises unto our God; *
O sing praises, sing praises unto our King.
7
For God is the King of all the earth; *
think upon his mighty acts and praise him with a song.
8
God reigns over the nations; *
God sits on his holy throne.
9
The princes of the peoples are gathered with the people of the God of Abraham; *
for the mighty upon earth have become the servants of the Lord, and he is very highly exalted.
