Psalm 8

Lord, how illustrious is thy Name!
Whose Power both Heav'n & Earth proclame!
Thy Glory thou hast set on high,
Above the Marble-arched Skie.
The wonders of thy Power thou hast
In mouthes of babes and sucklings plac't:
That so thou might'st thy foes confound,
And who in malice most abound.
When I pure Heaven, thy fabricke, see,
The Moone and Starres dispos'd by thee;
O what is Man, or his fraile Race,
That thou shouldst such a Shadow grace!
Next to thy Angels most renown'd;
With Majestie and Glory crown'd:
The King of all thy Creatures made;
That all beneath his feet hast laid:
All that on Dales or Mountaines feed,
That shady Woods or Deserts breed;
What in the aierie Region glide,
Or through the rowling Ocean slide.
Lord, how illustrious is thy Name!
Whose Power both Heaven and Earth proclame.
