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!
