GOD'S WORD Translation GW
New King James Version NKJV
1 O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name throughout the earth! Your glory is sung 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 little children and infants, you have built a fortress against your opponents to 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 creation of your fingers, the moon and the stars that you have 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 is a mortal that you remember him or the Son of Man that you take care of him?
4
What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him?
5 You have made him a little lower than yourself. You have 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 have made him rule what your hands created. You have put everything under his control:
6
You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet,
7 all the sheep and cattle, the wild animals,
7
All sheep and oxen-- Even the beasts of the field,
8 the birds, the fish, whatever swims in the currents of the seas.
8
The birds of the air, And the fish of the sea That pass through the paths of the seas.
9 O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name throughout the earth!
9
O Lord, our Lord, How excellent is Your name in all the earth!
