New King James VersionInternational Standard Version
1To the Chief Musician. On the instrument of Gath. A Psalm of David. O LORD, our Lord, How excellent is Your name in all the earth, Who have set Your glory above the heavens!1LORD, our Lord, how excellent is your name in all the earth! You set your glory above the heavens!
2Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants You have ordained strength, Because of Your enemies, That You may 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 consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have ordained,3When I look at the heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars that you established—
4What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him?4what is man that you take notice of him, or the son of man that you pay attention to him?
5For You have made him a little lower than the angels, And You have crowned him with glory and honor.5You made him a little less than divine, but you crowned him with glory and honor.
6You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet,6You gave him dominion over the work of your hands, you put all things under his feet:
7All sheep and oxen— Even the beasts of the field,7Sheep and cattle—all of them, wild creatures of the field,
8The birds of the air, And the fish of the sea That pass through the paths of the seas.8birds in the sky, fish in the sea— whatever moves through the currents of the oceans.
9O LORD, our Lord, How excellent is Your name in all the earth!9LORD, our Lord, how excellent is your name in all the earth!
