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. | 1LORD, our Lord, how magnificent is your name throughout the earth! You have covered the heavens with your majesty. |
2Through the praise of children and infants you have established a stronghold against your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger. | 2From the mouths of infants and nursing babies, you have established a stronghold on account of your adversaries in order to silence the enemy and the avenger. |
3When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, | 3When I observe your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you set in place, |
4what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them? | 4what is a human being that you remember him, a son of man that you look after him? |
5You have made them a little lower than the angels and crowned them with glory and honor. | 5You made him little less than God and crowned him with glory and honor. |
6You made them rulers over the works of your hands; you put everything under their feet: | 6You made him ruler over the works of your hands; you put everything under his feet: |
7all flocks and herds, and the animals of the wild, | 7all the sheep and oxen, as well as the animals in the wild, |
8the birds in the sky, and the fish in the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas. | 8the birds of the sky, and the fish of the sea that pass through the currents of the seas. |
9LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! | 9LORD, our Lord, how magnificent is your name throughout the earth! |
