4 Quando video caelos tuos, opera digitorum tuorum,
lunam et stellas, quae tu fundasti,
5 quid est homo, quod memor es eius,
aut filius hominis, quoniam visitas eum?
6 Minuisti eum paulo minus ab angelis,
gloria et honore coronasti eum
7 et constituisti eum super opera manuum tuarum.
Omnia subiecisti sub pedibus eius:
8 oves et boves universas,
insuper et pecora campi,
9 volucres caeli et pisces maris,
quaecumque perambulant semitas maris.
10 Domine, Dominus noster,
quam admirabile est nomen tuum in universa terra!

When I see the heavens, the work of your fingers,
the moon and stars, which you set in their place –
what is man, that you should take thought for him?
what is the son of man, that you should look after him?

You have made him but one step lower than the angels;
you have crowned him with glory and honour;
you have set him over the works of your hands.

You have put everything beneath his feet,
cattle and sheep and the beasts of the field,
the birds in the air and the fish in the sea,
whatever passes along the paths of the waters.

How wonderful is your name above all the earth,
O Lord, our Lord!

(Psalm 8:4-10)
