For the choir director: on the Gittith. A Davidic psalm.
1 Lord, our Lord, how magnificent is Your name throughout the earth! You have covered the heavens with Your majesty.[a][b]
2
Because of Your adversaries, You have established a stronghold[c] from the mouths of children and nursing infants,[d] to silence the enemy and the avenger.
3
When I observe Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You set in place,
4
what is man that You remember him, the son of man that You look after him?[e]
5
You made him little less than God[f][g] and crowned him with glory and honor.
6
You made him lord over the works of Your hands; You put everything under his feet:[h]
7
all the sheep and oxen, as well as animals in the wild,
8
birds of the sky, and fish of the sea passing through the currents of the seas.
9
Lord, our Lord, how magnificent is Your name throughout the earth!
