Saint of the day · January 2

¹ For the Chief Musician; on an instrument of Gath. A Psalm by David. Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens!

² From the lips of babes and infants you have established strength, because of your adversaries, that you might silence the enemy and the avenger.

³ When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have ordained,

⁴ what is man, that you think of him? What is the son of man, that you care for him?

⁵ For you have made him a little lower than the angels, and crowned him with glory and honor.

⁶ You make him ruler over the works of your hands. You have put all things under his feet:

⁷ All sheep and cattle, yes, and the animals of the field,

⁸ the birds of the sky, the fish of the sea, and whatever passes through the paths of the seas.

⁹ Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
