How great is your name, O Lord our God, through all the earth!
1 O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name
through all the earth! [Antiphon]
2 Your majesty is set above the heavens.
From the mouths of children and of babes
you fashioned praise to foil your enemy,
to silence the foe and the rebel. [Antiphon]
3 When I see the heavens, the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars which you arranged,
what is man that you should keep him in mind,
the son of man that you care for him? [Antiphon]
4 Yet you have made them a little lower than the angels,
with glory and honor you crowned him.
gave him power over the works of your hands:
you put all things under his feet. [Antiphon]
5 All sheep and oxen and beasts,
yes, even the cattle of the fields,
birds of the air, and fish of the sea
that make their way through the waters. [Antiphon]
6 O LORD, our Lord, how majestic
is your name through all the earth! [Antiphon]
7 Give glory to the Father Almighty,
to his Son, Jesus Christ the Lord,
to the Spirit who dwells in our hearts,
both now and for ever. Amen. [Antiphon] Topics: Psalms Scripture: Psalm 8 Used With Tune: [How great is your name, O Lord our God] Text Sources: Verses: The Revised Grail Psalms; Antiphon: The Grail
