2 Out 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.
|
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 consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have ordained,
|
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 are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him?
|
4 what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him?

|
6 You made him ruler over the works of your hands; you put everything under his feet:
|
|
7 All sheep and oxen-- Even the beasts of the field,
|
7 all flocks and herds, and the beasts of the field,
|
|
8 The birds of the air, And the fish of the sea That pass through the paths of the seas.
|
8 the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas.
