Third Millennium Bible TMB
GOD'S WORD Translation GW
1 <<To the chief musician: Upon Gittith. A Psalm of David.>> 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, how majestic is your name throughout the earth! Your glory is sung above 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
From the mouths of little children and infants, you have built a fortress against your opponents to silence the enemy and the avenger.
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 your heavens, the creation of your fingers, the moon and the stars that you have set in place--
4 what is man that Thou art mindful of him, and the son of man that Thou dost visit him?
4
what is a mortal that you remember him or the Son of Man that you take care of him?
5 For Thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honor.
5
You have made him a little lower than yourself. You have crowned him with glory and honor.
6 Thou hast made him to have dominion over the works of Thy hands; Thou hast put all things under his feet,
6
You have made him rule what your hands created. You have put everything under his control:
7 all sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field,
7
all the sheep and cattle, 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, the fish, whatever swims in the currents of the seas.
9 O LORD, our Lord, how excellent is Thy name in all the earth!
9
O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name throughout the earth!
