The Whole Booke of Psalmes ‎#3b

3b. Domine Deus noster

1 O God our Lord how wonderfull
are thy works every where;
Whose fame surmounts in dignity,
above the heavens cleare!
2 Euen by the mouthes of sucking babes
thou wilt confound thy foes
For in those babes thy might is seen,
thy graces they disclose.

3 And when I see the heavens hight,
the works of thine owne hand:
The Son the Moon and all the starres,
in order as they stand,
4 What thing is man (Lord) think I then
that thou dost him remember?
Or what is mans posterity
that thou dost it consider?

5 For thou hast made him little lesse
than Angels in degree:
And thou hast crowned him also
with glory and dignity.
6 Thou hast prefer'd him to be Lord
of all thy works of wonder:
And at his feet hath set all things,
that he should keep them under.

7 As sheep, and neat and all beasts else
that in the fields do feed:
fowles of the ayre, fish in the sea,
and all that there in breed.
9 Therefore must I say once againe,
O God that art our Lord:
How famous and how wonderfull
are thy works through the world.
