“At last, here is one of my own kind —

Bone taken from my bone, and flesh from my flesh.

‘Woman’ is her name because she was taken out of man.”

₁O LORD, our Lord,

your greatness is seen in all the world!

Your praise reaches up to the heavens;

₂it is sung by children and babies.

You are safe and secure from all your enemies;

you stop anyone who opposes you.

₃When I look at the sky, which you have made,

at the moon and the stars, which you set in their places —

₄what are human beings, that you think of them;

mere mortals, that you care for them?

₅Yet you made them inferior only to yourself;

you crowned them with glory and honour.

₆You appointed them rulers over everything you made;

you placed them over all creation:

₇sheep and cattle, and the wild animals too;

₈the birds and the fish

and the creatures in the seas.

₉O LORD, our Lord,

your greatness is seen in all the world!
