When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers,The moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
What is man, that thou art mindful of him?And the son of man, that thou visitest him?
For thou hast made him but little lower than {Or, the angels Hebrew: Elohim.}God,And crownest him with glory and honor.
Thou makest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands;Thou hast put all things under his feet:
All sheep and oxen,Yea, and the beasts of the field,
The birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea,Whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.

To deliver their soul from death,And to keep them alive in famine.

For our heart shall rejoice in him,Because we have trusted in his holy name.
Let thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, be upon us,According as we {Or, wait for}have hoped in thee.

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. Maschil.We have heard with our ears, O God,Our fathers have told us,What work thou didst in their days,In the days of old.
Thou didst drive out the nations with thy hand;But them thou didst plant:Thou didst afflict the peoples;But them thou didst spread abroad.
For they gat not the land in possession by their own sword,Neither did their own arm save them;But thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance,Because thou wast favorable unto them.

But thou hast saved us from our adversaries,And hast put them to shame that hate us.
In God have we made our boast all the day long,And we will give thanks unto thy name for ever. [Selah

For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth,By reason of the enemy and the avenger.

Our heart is not turned back,Neither have our steps declined from thy way,

If we have forgotten the name of our God,Or spread forth our hands to a strange god;
Will not God search this out?For he knoweth the secrets of the heart.
Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long;We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord?Arise, cast us not off for ever.
Wherefore hidest thou thy face,And forgettest our affliction and our oppression?
For our soul is bowed down to the dust:Our body cleaveth unto the earth.
Rise up for our help,And redeem us for thy lovingkindness' sake.

And Shallum the son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his brethren, of his father's house, the Korahites, were over the work of the service, keepers of the thresholds of the tent: and their fathers had been over the camp of Jehovah, keepers of the entry.
