The leader’s. On the Gittite. A composition. David’s.
1 Yahweh our lord, how powerful is your name in all the earth,
You who put your grandeur above the heavens .
2 At the mouth of babies and sucklings,
You founded a barricade to deal with your adversaries,
to still the enemy and the avenger.
3 When I see the heavens, the things that your fingers made,
moon and stars that you established,
4 What are weak-people that you are mindful of them,
‘human beings’ that you attend to them?
5 But you made them fall short of God by a little,
and you crown them with honour and magnificence.
6 You let them rule over the things that your hands made;
you put everything under their feet –
7 Sheep and cattle, all of them,
and the animals of the wild, too,
8 The birds of the heavens, the fish of the sea,
what passes over the paths in the seas.
9 Yahweh our lord,
how powerful is your name in all the earth!
Lord God,,
you feed us with the living bread from heaven;
you renew our faith,
increase our hope,
and strengthen our love.
Teach us to hunger
for Christ who is the true and living bread,
and to live by every word
that comes from your mouth,
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
