O Lord, our God, how wonderful your name in all the earth!
Verse 1
Cmaj7 D Bm7 Em
When I see the heavens, the work of your fingers,
Cmaj7 Bm7 E
the moon and the stars which you arranged,
Cmaj7 D Em
what is man that you should keep him in mind,
Am7 Bm7 E E7
the son of man that you care for him?
Refrain
Verse 2
Cmaj7 D Bm7 Em
Yet you have made him little lower than the angels;
Cmaj7 Bm7 E
with glory and honor you crowned him,
Cmaj7 D Em
gave him power over the works of your hands:
Am7 Bm7 E E7
you put all things under his feet.
Refrain
Verse 3
Cmaj7 D Bm7 Em
All of them, sheep and oxen,
Cmaj7 Bm7 E
yes, even the cattle of the fields,
Cmaj7 D Em
birds of the air, and fish of the sea
Am7 Bm7 E E7
that make their way through the waters.
