{To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm of David.} O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.

O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!

But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.

How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.

Thou art more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey.

Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities.

Let them praise the name of the LORD: for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven.

Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness.
