| English Standard Version | New Living Translation |
| 1O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens. | 1O LORD, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth! Your glory is higher than the heavens. |
| 2Out of the mouth of babies and infants, you have established strength because of your foes, to still the enemy and the avenger. | 2You have taught children and infants to tell of your strength, silencing your enemies and all who oppose you. |
| 3When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, | 3When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers— the moon and the stars you set in place— |
| 4what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him? | 4what are mere mortals that you should think about them, human beings that you should care for them? |
| 5Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor. | 5Yet you made them only a little lower than God and crowned them with glory and honor. |
| 6You have given him dominion over the works of your hands; you have put all things under his feet, | 6You gave them charge of everything you made, putting all things under their authority— |
| 7all sheep and oxen, and also the beasts of the field, | 7the flocks and the herds and all the wild animals, |
| 8the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea, whatever passes along the paths of the seas. | 8the birds in the sky, the fish in the sea, and everything that swims the ocean currents. |
| 9O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! | 9O LORD, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth! |
