Responsorial Psalm for the Optional Memorial of The Holy Name of Jesus

Psalm 8:4-5, 6-7, 8-9

Summary: God’s name is great across the earth. He made the heavens yet still cares for us. He gave us honor and power over all creation, placing everything under our care.

The Greatness of God’s Name

R. O Lord, our God, how wonderful your name in all the earth!

When I behold your heavens, the work of your fingers,
the moon and stars which you set in place—
What is man that you should be mindful of him,
or the son of man that you should care for him?

R. O Lord, our God, how wonderful your name in all the earth!

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

R. O Lord, our God, how wonderful your name in all the earth!

All sheep and oxen,
yes, and the beasts of the field,
The birds of the air, the fishes of the sea,
and whatever swims the paths of the seas.

R. O Lord, our God, how wonderful your name in all the earth!
