1 For the leader. On the gittit. A psalm of David: ADONAI! Our Lord! How glorious is your name throughout the earth! The fame of your majesty spreads even above the heavens!
1
To 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!
2 From the mouths of babies and infants at the breast you established strength because of your foes, in order that you might silence the enemy and the avenger.
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.
3 When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and stars that you set in place -
3
When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have ordained,
4 what are mere mortals, that you concern yourself with them; humans, that you watch over them with such care?
4
What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him?
5 You made him but little lower than the angels, you crowned him with glory and honor,
5
For You have made him a little lower than the angels, And You have crowned him with glory and honor.
6 you had him rule what your hands made, you put everything under his feet -
6
You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet,
7 sheep and oxen, all of them, also the animals in the wilds,
7
All sheep and oxen-- Even the beasts of the field,
8 the birds in the air, the fish in the sea, whatever passes through the paths of the seas.
8
The birds of the air, And the fish of the sea That pass through the paths of the seas.
9 ADONAI! Our Lord! How glorious is your name throughout the earth!
9
O Lord, our Lord, How excellent is Your name in all the earth!
