| 1For the choir director: on the Gittith. A Davidic psalm. Yahweh, 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! |
| 2Because of Your adversaries, You have established a stronghold from the mouths of children and nursing infants 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 man that You remember him, the 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 lord 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. |
| 9Yahweh, our Lord, how magnificent is Your name throughout the earth! | 9LORD, our Lord, how excellent is your name in all the earth! |
