2 Out of the mouth6310 of babes5768 and sucklings3243 hast thou ordained3245 strength5797 because of thine enemies6887, that thou mightest still7673 the enemy341 and the avenger5358. ordained: Heb. founded

3 When I consider7200 thy heavens8064, the work4639 of thy fingers676, the moon3394 and the stars3556, which thou hast ordained3559;

4 What is man582, that thou art mindful2142 of him? and the son1121 of man120, that thou visitest6485 him?

5 For thou hast made him a little4592 lower2637 than the angels430, and hast crowned5849 him with glory3519 and honour1926.

6 Thou madest him to have dominion4910 over the works4639 of thy hands3027; thou hast put7896 all things under his feet7272:

7 All sheep6792 and oxen504, yea, and the beasts929 of the field7704; All: Heb. Flocks and oxen all of them

8 The fowl6833 of the air8064, and the fish1709 of the sea3220, and whatsoever passeth through5674 the paths734 of the seas3220.
