1For the choir director; on the Gittith. A Psalm of David. O LORD, our Lord, How majestic is Your name in all the earth, Who have displayed Your splendor above the heavens! | 1LORD, our Lord, how excellent is your name in all the earth! You set your glory above the heavens! |
2From the mouth of infants and nursing babes You have established strength Because of Your adversaries, To make the enemy and the revengeful cease. | 2Out of the mouths of infants and nursing babies you have established strength on account of your adversaries, in order to silence the enemy and vengeful foe. |
3When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have ordained; | 3When I look at the heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars that you established— |
4What is man that You take thought of him, And the son of man that You care for him? | 4what is man that you take notice of him, or the son of man that you pay attention to him? |
5Yet You have made him a little lower than God, And You crown him with glory and majesty! | 5You made him a little less than divine, but you crowned him with glory and honor. |
6You make him to rule over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet, | 6You gave him dominion over the work of your hands, you put all things under his feet: |
7All sheep and oxen, And also the beasts of the field, | 7Sheep and cattle—all of them, wild creatures of the field, |
8The birds of the heavens and the fish of the sea, Whatever passes through the paths of the seas. | 8birds in the sky, fish in the sea— whatever moves through the currents of the oceans. |
9O LORD, our Lord, How majestic is Your name in all the earth! | 9LORD, our Lord, how excellent is your name in all the earth! |
