Holman Christian Standard Bible | New Living Translation |
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. | 1O LORD, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth! Your glory is higher than 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. | 2You have taught children and infants to tell of your strength, silencing your enemies and all who oppose you. |
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 night sky and see the work of your fingers— the moon and the stars you set in place— |
4what is man that You remember him, the son of man that You look after him? | 4what are mere mortals that you should think about them, human beings that you should care for them? |
5You made him little less than God 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 made him lord over the works of Your hands; You put everything under his feet: | 6You gave them charge of everything you made, putting all things under their authority— |
7all the sheep and oxen, as well as the animals in the wild, | 7the flocks and the herds and all the wild animals, |
8the birds of the sky, and the fish of the sea that pass through the currents of the seas. | 8the birds in the sky, the fish in the sea, and everything that swims the ocean currents. |
9Yahweh, our Lord, how magnificent is Your name throughout the earth! | 9O LORD, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth! |
