King James Version KJV
New Living Translation NLT
1 O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.
1
O LORD, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth! Your glory is higher than the heavens.
2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
2
You have taught children and infants to tell of your strength, silencing your enemies and all who oppose you.
3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
3
When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers— the moon and the stars you set in place—
4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
4
what are mere mortals that you should think about them, human beings that you should care for them?
5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
5
Yet you made them only a little lower than God and crowned them with glory and honor.
6 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:
6
You gave them charge of everything you made, putting all things under their authority—
7 All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;
7
the flocks and the herds and all the wild animals,
8 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.
8
the birds in the sky, the fish in the sea, and everything that swims the ocean currents.
9 O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
9
O LORD, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth!
