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