1      Lord, our Lord,              how majestic is your name in all the earth!

         You have set your glory              in the heavens.2      Through the praise of children and infants              you have established a stronghold against your enemies,              to silence the foe and the avenger.3      When I consider your heavens,              the work of your fingers,         the moon and the stars,              which you have set in place,4      what is mankind that you are mindful of them,              human beings that you care for them?

5      You have made them a little lower than the angels              and crowned them with glory and honor.6      You made them rulers over the works of your hands;              you put everything under their feet:7      all flocks and herds,              and the animals of the wild,8      the birds in the sky,              and the fish in the sea,              all that swim the paths of the seas.

9 Lord, our Lord,              how majestic is your name in all the earth!

Christ Jesus:

6      Who, being in very nature God,              did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;7      rather, he made himself nothing              by taking the very nature of a servant,              being made in human likeness.8      And being found in appearance as a man,              he humbled himself              by becoming obedient to death—                    even death on a cross!

9      Therefore God exalted him to the highest place              and gave him the name that is above every name,10      that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,              in heaven and on earth and under the earth,11      and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,              to the glory of God the Father.
