1ειϲ το τελοϲ ϋπερ των ληνων ψαλμοϲ τω δαυειδ 2κε ο κϲ ημων ωϲ θαυμαϲτον το ονομα ϲου εν παϲη τη γη οτι επηρθη η μεγαλοπρεπεια ϲου υπερανω των ουρανων 3εκ ϲτοματοϲ νηπιων και θηλαζοντων κατηρτιϲω αινον ενεκα των εχθρων ϲου του καταλυϲαι εχθρον και εκδικητη 4οτι οψομαι τουϲ ουρανουϲ εργα των δακτυλων ϲου ϲεληνην και αϲτεραϲ α ϲυ εθεμελιωϲαϲ 5τι εϲτιν ανθρωποϲ οτι μιμνηϲκη αυτου η υιοϲ ανθρωπου οτι επιϲκεπτη αυτο
1O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens. 2Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger. 3When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; 4What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? 5For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
6ηλαττωϲαϲ αυτον βραχυ τι παρ αγγελουϲ δοξη και τιμη εϲτεφανωϲαϲ αυτον 7και κατεϲτηϲαϲ αυτον επι τα εργα των χειρων ϲου παντα ϋπεταξαϲ υποκατω των ποδων αυτου 8προβατα και βοαϲ παϲαϲ ετι δε και τα κτηνη του πεδιου 9τα πετεινα του ουρανου και τουϲ ιχθυαϲ τηϲ θαλαϲϲηϲ τα διαπορευομενα τριβουϲ θαλαϲϲω 10κε ο κϲ ημων ωϲ θαυμαϲτον το ονομα ϲου εν παϲη τη γη
6Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet: 7All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field; 8The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas. 9O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
