(A)From the mouths of infants and nursing babies You have established [a](B)strength
Because of Your enemies,
To do away with (C)the enemy and the revengeful.

When I [b](D)consider (E)Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,
The (F)moon and the stars, which You have set in place;
(G)What is man that You think of him,
And a son of man that You are concerned about him?
