Story behind the song

I'm trying to get more settings of psalms written, especially ones that everyone can join in with (or join in with the chorus of). Here is one of them! Feel free to use it in a worship situation (and copy/print/project the words too!)

Lyrics

God how great is Your name 
In all the Earth (x4)

 When I see the Heavens,
 the work of Your hands
The moon and the starscape
Which you have arranged. 
What are we?
For you keep poor mortals in mind
Mere humans, 
and You care for us

God how great is Your name 
In all the Earth (x2)

 You made us a touch lower Than angel hosts
And crowned us with glory
And honour and fame
You gave us the care 
Of the works that You made
And put all things
Under our feet.

God how great is Your name 
In all the Earth (x2)

 The sheep and the oxen, 
The beasts of the field
The birds of the air 
And the fish in the sea. 
So Glory to God,  Father, Spirit and Son
While endless eternity runs.

God how great is Your name 
In all the Earth (x6)
