Divine Majesty and Human Dignity

To the choirmaster: according to The Gittith. A Psalm of David.

8 ^[a]O Lord, our Lord,
how majestic is thy name in all the earth!

Thou whose glory above the heavens is chanted
² by the mouth of babes and infants,
thou hast founded a bulwark because of thy foes,
to still the enemy and the avenger.
