3 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings Thou hast ordained praise for the sake of Thy enemies, that Thou mayest silence the enemy and the avenger.

4 When I look upon thy heavens, it is the work of thy fingers, and of the moon, and of the stars which thou hast set up,

5 What is man, that thou rememberest him, and son of man, that thou visitest him?

6 Thou hast humbled him not much before the angels: Thou hast crowned him with glory and honor;

7 Thou hast made him ruler over the works of thy hands; He put everything under his feet.

8 and all the sheep and oxen, and also the beasts of the field;

9 The birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, all that pass away by the paths of the sea.

10 O Lord our God! How majestic is Thy name throughout all the earth!

Psalm 9

1 To the head of the choir. After the death of Laben. Psalm of David.

2 I will praise [thee], O Lord, with all my heart, declaring all thy wonders.

3 I will rejoice and rejoice in you, I will sing to your name, O Most High.

4 When my enemies are turned back, they will stumble and perish before you,

5 for thou hast carried out my judgment and my lawsuit; Thou art seated on the throne, O righteous Judge.

6 Thou hast been indignant with the nations, Thou hast destroyed the wicked, Thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.

7 The enemy hath no weapons at all, and thou hast destroyed the cities; their memory perished with them.

8 But the Lord abides for ever; He has prepared His throne for judgment;

9 And he will judge the world in righteousness, he will judge the nations in righteousness.

10 And the Lord shall be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble;

11 And they that know thy name shall trust in thee: for thou dost not forsake them that seek thee, O Lord.

12 Sing to the Lord who dwelleth in Zion, declare his works among the nations,
