O LORD, OUR LORD
How majestic is Your name,
How majestic is Your name in all the earth!
O Lord, our Lord
How majestic is Your name,
How majestic is Your name in all the earth!
You’ve set Your glory above the heavens;
From the lips of children You have brought back praise
To silence all Your enemies
And put them in their place;
O Lord how majestic is Your name!
