| 1For the choir director; on the Gittith. A Psalm of David. O LORD, our Lord, How majestic is Your name in all the earth, Who have displayed Your splendor above the heavens! | 1O LORD, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth! Your glory is higher than the heavens. |
| 2From the mouth of infants and nursing babes You have established strength Because of Your adversaries, To make the enemy and the revengeful cease. | 2You have taught children and infants to tell of your strength, silencing your enemies and all who oppose you. |
| 3When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have ordained; | 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 take thought 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 God, And You crown him with glory and majesty! | 5Yet you made them only a little lower than God and crowned them with glory and honor. |
| 6You make him to rule 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 through 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! |
