                       How Excellent Is Thy Name!
                               Psalm 8


1.   How excellent in all the earth, Lord our Lord is Thy name! Who hast Thy
     glory far advanced above the starry frame. From mouths of babes and
     infants, Lord, strength by Thee is ordained, So that Thy enemies be
     crushed; Thy vengeful foes restrained.

2.   When I look up unto the heav'ns which Thine own fingers framed, Unto
     the moon and to the stars, which were by Thee ordained; Then say I, what
     is man that Thou should be mindful of him? Or what, the son of man, that
     Thou so kind to him should be?

3.   For Thou hast made him little less than the angels above; With glory and
     with dignity; with honor crown'd his head. Appointed lord of all Thy
     works, all things under his feet: All sheep and oxen, yea, and beasts that in
     the field do stray.
