Holman Christian Standard Bible CSB
English Standard Version ESV
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
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 observe Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You set 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 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, and 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
Yet you have 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 have given him dominion over the works of your hands; you have put all things under his feet,
7 all the sheep and oxen, as well as animals in the wild,
7
all sheep and oxen, and also 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 heavens, and the fish of the sea, whatever passes along 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!
