Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens!
1Unto the end, for the presses: a psalm of David.
2From the lips of babes and infants you have established strength, because of your adversaries, that you might silence the enemy and the avenger.
2O Lord our Lord, how admirable is thy name in the whole earth! For thy magnificence is elevated above the heavens.
3When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have ordained,
3Out of the mouth of infants and of sucklings thou hast perfected praise, because of thy enemies, that thou mayst destroy the enemy and the avenger.
4what is man, that you think of him? What is the son of man, that you care for him?
4For I will behold thy heavens, the works of thy fingers: the moon and the stars which thou hast founded.
5For you have made him a little lower than the angels, and crowned him with glory and honor.
5What is man that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man that thou visitest hi?
6You make him ruler over the works of your hands. You have put all things under his feet:
6Thou hast made him a little less than the angels, thou hast crowned him with glory and honour:
7All sheep and cattle, yes, and the animals of the field,
7And hast set him over the works of thy hands.
8the birds of the sky, the fish of the sea, and whatever passes through the paths of the seas.
8Thou hast subjected all things under his feet, all sheep and oxen: moreover the beasts also of the fields.
9LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
9The birds of the air, and the fishes of the sea, that pass through the paths of the sea.
