1LORD, our Lord, how excellent is your name in all the earth! You set your glory above the heavens! | 1For the director of music. According to gittith. A psalm of David. LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory in the heavens. |
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. | 2Through the praise of children and infants you have established a stronghold against your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger. |
3When I look at the heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars that you established— | 3When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, |
4what is man that you take notice of him, or the son of man that you pay attention to him? | 4what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them? |
5You made him a little less than divine, but you crowned him with glory and honor. | 5You have made them a little lower than the angels and crowned them with glory and honor. |
6You gave him dominion over the work of your hands, you put all things under his feet: | 6You made them rulers over the works of your hands; you put everything under their feet: |
7Sheep and cattle—all of them, wild creatures of the field, | 7all flocks and herds, and the animals of the wild, |
8birds in the sky, fish in the sea— whatever moves through the currents of the oceans. | 8the birds in the sky, and the fish in the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas. |
9LORD, our Lord, how excellent is your name in all the earth! | 9LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! |
