God's Glory and Man's Honor

81 Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth,
who has set your glory above the heavens! 2 From the lips of babes and infants you have established strength,
because of your adversaries, that you might silence the enemy and the avenger.

3 When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars, which you have ordained; 4 what is man, that you think of him?
What is the son of man, that you care for him? 5 For you have made him a little lower than God, [1]
and crowned him with glory and honor. 6 You make him ruler over the works of your hands.
You have put all things under his feet: 7 All sheep and cattle,
yes, and the animals of the field, 8 The birds of the sky, the fish of the sea,
and whatever passes through the paths of the seas. 9 Yahweh, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!
