81 O Lord , our Lord , How majestic is Your name in all the earth , Who have displayed Your splendor above the heavens ! 2 From the mouth of infants and nursing babes You have established strength Because of Your adversaries , To make the enemy and the revengeful cease .
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 take thought of him, And the son of man that You care for him? 5 Yet You have made him a little lower than God , And You crown him with glory and majesty ! 6 You make him to rule over the works of Your hands ; You have put all things under his feet , 7 All sheep and oxen , And also the beasts of the field , 8 The birds of the heavens and the fish of the sea , Whatever passes through the paths of the seas . 9 O Lord , our Lord , How majestic is Your name in all the earth !
31 O Lord , how my adversaries have increased ! Many are rising up against me. 2 Many are saying of my soul , "There is no deliverance for him in God ." Selah . 3 But You, O Lord , are a shield about me, My glory , and the One who lifts my head .
4 I was crying to the Lord with my voice , And He answered me from His holy mountain . Selah . 5 I lay down and slept ; I awoke , for the Lord sustains me. 6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people Who have set themselves against me round about . 7 Arise , O Lord ; save me, O my God ! For You have smitten all my enemies on the cheek ; You have shattered the teeth of the wicked . 8 Salvation belongs to the Lord ; Your blessing be upon Your people ! Selah .
