how glorious is your name over all the earth!
What is man that you should be mindful of him,
or the son of man that you should care for him?

and crowned him with glory and honor.
You have given him rule over the works of your hands,
putting all things under his feet.

The birds of the air, the fishes of the sea,
and whatever swims the paths of the seas.
