How majestic is Your name,
Your glory is above Heaven;
The reason that I proclaim,
For all that You have given.
Out of the mouth of infants,
You have established Your strength;
Against my foes and tyrants,
Upholding at any length.
When I look up to Heaven,
All the work of Your fingers;
As in the Scriptures written,
The moon and each star lingers.
What is man You are aware,
Mindful of what has been done;
The Son of man that You care,
Finishing what had begun.
You made Him a slight lower,
Than the heavenly angels;
To become as a sower,
In accordance with the scrolls.
You have given dominion,
Crowned with glory and honor;
As a fact not opinion,
As a servant and fawner.
The works as done through Your hands,
All things put under His feet;
Spoken words through Your commands,
Ensuring all is complete.
All of the beast in the field,
With the oxen and the sheep;
The crops that farmers will yield,
Abundantly that they reap.
The birds flying in the sky,
As the fish swim in the sea;
Passing on paths are so spry,
Moving around fancy free.
How majestic is Your name,
How excellent as my Lord;
I continue to proclaim,
Remaining in one accord.
