1LORD, our Lord, how magnificent is your name throughout the earth! You have covered the heavens with your majesty. | 1LORD, our Lord, how excellent is your name in all the earth! You set your glory above the heavens! |
2From the mouths of infants and nursing babies, you have established a stronghold on account of your adversaries in order to silence the enemy and the avenger. | 2Out of the mouths of infants and nursing babies you have established strength on account of your adversaries, in order to silence the enemy and vengeful foe. |
3When I observe your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you set in place, | 3When I look at the heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars that you established— |
4what is a human being that you remember him, a son of man that you look after him? | 4what is man that you take notice of him, or the son of man that you pay attention to him? |
5You made him little less than God and crowned him with glory and honor. | 5You made him a little less than divine, but you crowned him with glory and honor. |
6You made him ruler over the works of your hands; you put everything under his feet: | 6You gave him dominion over the work of your hands, you put all things under his feet: |
7all the sheep and oxen, as well as the animals in the wild, | 7Sheep and cattle—all of them, wild creatures of the field, |
8the birds of the sky, and the fish of the sea that pass through the currents of the seas. | 8birds in the sky, fish in the sea— whatever moves through the currents of the oceans. |
9LORD, our Lord, how magnificent is your name throughout the earth! | 9LORD, our Lord, how excellent is your name in all the earth! |
