Rh  :Thou makest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands ; Thou hast put all things under his feet: all sheep and oxen,
 * Yea, and the beasts of the field, the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea,

Whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.
 * O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!

SELECTION 6 GOD'S WISDOM Psalm cxxxix LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me.
 * Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising thou understandest my thought afar off.

Thou searchest out my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.
 * For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O Lord, thou knowest it altogether.

Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thy hand upon me.
 * Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.

Whither shall I go from thy Spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there:
 * If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, thou art there.

If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
 * Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.

If I say, Surely the darkness shall overwhelm me, and the light about me shall be night;
 * Even the darkness hideth not from thee,

But the night shineth as the day :
 * The darkness and the light are both alike to thee.

How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, God !
 * How great is the sum of them!

If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand :
 * When I awake, I am still with thee.
