1Unto the End. Set to "The Winepresses." A Psalm of Beloved.

2O He-Who-Is, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth! You have set Your glory above the heavens.

3From the mouths of children and infants You have ordained praise on account of Your adversaries, to silence the enemy and avenger.

4When I behold Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have set in place—

5what is man that You are mindful of him, or the son of man that You care for him?

6You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings; You crowned him with glory and honor.

7You made him ruler of the works of Your hands; You have placed everything under his feet:

8all sheep and oxen, and even the beasts of the field,

9the birds of the air and the fish of the Sea, all that swim the paths of the seas.

10O He-Who-Is, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth!
