| 2 Domine Dominus noster quam admirabile est nomen tuum in universa terra quoniam elevata est magnificentia tua super caelos |
2 O Lord our Lord, how admirable is thy name in the whole earth! For thy magnificence is elevated above the heavens. |
| 3 Ex ore infantium et lactantium perfecisti laudem propter inimicos tuos ut destruas inimicum et ultorem |
3 Out 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. |
| 4 Quoniam videbo caelos tuos opera digitorum tuorum lunam et stellas quae tu fundasti |
4 For I will behold thy heavens, the works of thy fingers: the moon and the stars which thou hast founded. |
| 5 Quid est homo quod memor es eius aut filius hominis quoniam visitas eum |
5 What is man that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man that thou visitest him? |
| 6 Minuisti eum paulo minus ab angelis gloria et honore coronasti eum |

| 7 Et constituisti eum super opera manuum tuarum |
7 and hast set him over the works of thy hands. |
| 8 Omnia subiecisti sub pedibus eius oves et boves universas insuper et pecora campi |
8 Thou hast subjected all things under his feet, all sheep and oxen: moreover the beasts also of the fields. |
| 9 Volucres caeli et pisces maris qui perambulant semitas maris |
9 The birds of the air, and the fishes of the sea, that pass through the paths of the sea. |
| 10 Domine Dominus noster quam admirabile est nomen tuum in universa terra |
