O Lord, our Lord, how excellent
Thy name in all the earth!
Let every people, tribe, and tongue
Proclaim its boundless worth.
Out of the mouth of little ones
Thou hast established praise,
That Thou may still Thine enemy
And swiftly end his days.

When we the universe behold,
The work of Thy great hand—
The moon and stars which Thou ordained
By lofty wisdom planned;
O what is man that Thou should’st care
That Thou should’st mindful be?
The son of man Thou visitest
In Thine economy.

O Jesus Lord, Thou art that man,
The One who joined our race,
Who put upon Himself the flesh
And took a lower place.
But now with glory Thou art crowned,
With sovereignty complete.
Now through Thy Body Thou dost rule
With all beneath Thy feet.

And Thy transcendency,
Thy Lordship, Headship, kingdom full,
And Body here we see.
By all these steps of work divine
Thou hast established praise.
With overflowing hearts to Thee
Our joyful voice we raise.

Oh, soon that blessed day shall come—
All tongues these words shall peal!
But in the local churches now
We have a foretaste real.

O Jehovah our Lord, How excellent is Your name In all the earth, You who have set Your glory over the heavens! (Psalms 8:1)

Out of the mouth of Little ones
Thou hast established praise,
That Thou may still Thine enemy
And swift end his day.
Above the heavens is God’s splendor, and on the earth is the excellent name of Jesus; but between the earth and heavens are the adversary, the enemy, and the avenger. The Lord stops these three categories of negative ones by establishing strength and perfecting praise out of the mouths of babes and sucklings, the youngest, smallest, and weakest ones. ( from recovery version Bible Ps 8: 2 footnote 3)
Lord establish and perfect our praise to still Your enemy and end his days.

O Jesus Lord, Thou art that man,
The One who joined our race,
Who put upon Himself the flesh
And took a lower place.
