1 LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory in the heavens.
1
O Lord, our Lord, your greatness is seen in all the world! Your praise reaches up to the heavens;
2 Through the praise of children and infants you have established a stronghold against your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger.
2
it is sung by children and babies. You are safe and secure from all your enemies; you stop anyone who opposes you.
3 When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,
3
When I look at the sky, which you have made, at the moon and the stars, which you set in their places -
4 what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them?
4
what are human beings, that you think of them; mere mortals, that you care for them?
5 You have made them a little lower than the angelsand crowned them with glory and honor.
5
Yet you made them inferior only to yourself; you crowned them with glory and honor.
6 You made them rulers over the works of your hands; you put everything under their feet:
6
You appointed them rulers over everything you made; you placed them over all creation:
7 all flocks and herds, and the animals of the wild,
7
sheep and cattle, and the wild animals too;
8 the birds in the sky, and the fish in the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas.
8
the birds and the fish and the creatures in the seas.
9 LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
9
O Lord, our Lord, your greatness is seen in all the world!
