| 1O LORD, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth! Your glory is higher than the heavens. | 1For the choir director: on the Gittith. A Davidic psalm. Yahweh, our Lord, how magnificent is Your name throughout the earth! You have covered the heavens with Your majesty. |
| 2You have taught children and infants to tell of your strength, silencing your enemies and all who oppose you. | 2Because of Your adversaries, You have established a stronghold from the mouths of children and nursing infants to silence the enemy and the avenger. |
| 3When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers— the moon and the stars you set in place— | 3When I observe Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You set in place, |
| 4what are mere mortals that you should think about them, human beings that you should care for them? | 4what is man that You remember him, the son of man that You look after him? |
| 5Yet you made them only a little lower than God and crowned them with glory and honor. | 5You made him little less than God and crowned him with glory and honor. |
| 6You gave them charge of everything you made, putting all things under their authority— | 6You made him lord over the works of Your hands; You put everything under his feet: |
| 7the flocks and the herds and all the wild animals, | 7all the sheep and oxen, as well as the animals in the wild, |
| 8the birds in the sky, the fish in the sea, and everything that swims the ocean currents. | 8the birds of the sky, and the fish of the sea that pass through the currents of the seas. |
| 9O LORD, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth! | 9Yahweh, our Lord, how magnificent is Your name throughout the earth! |
