Common English Bible CEB
English Standard Version ESV
1 LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name throughout the earth! You made your glory higher than heaven!
1
O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens.
2 From the mouths of nursing babies you have laid a strong foundation because of your foes, in order to stop vengeful enemies.
2
Out of the mouth of babies and infants, you have established strength because of your foes, to still the enemy and the avenger.
3 When I look up at your skies, at what your fingers made— the moon and the stars that you set firmly in place—
3
When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,
4 what are human beings that you think about them; what are human beings that you pay attention to them?
4
what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him?
5 You've made them only slightly less than divine, crowning them with glory and grandeur.
5
Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor.
6 You've let them rule over your handiwork, putting everything under their feet—
6
You have given him dominion over the works of your hands; you have put all things under his feet,
7 all sheep and all cattle, the wild animals too,
7
all sheep and oxen, and also the beasts of the field,
8 the birds in the sky, the fish of the ocean, everything that travels the pathways of the sea.
8
the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea, whatever passes along the paths of the seas.
9 LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name throughout the earth!
9
O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
