| 2Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger. | 2Out of the mouth of babies and infants, you have established strength because of your foes, to still the enemy and the avenger. |
| 3When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; | 3When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, |
| 4What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? | 4what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him? |
| 5For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. | 5Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor. |
| 6Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet: | 6You have given him dominion over the works of your hands; you have put all things under his feet, |
| 7All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field; | 7all sheep and oxen, and also the beasts of the field, |
| 8The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas. | 8the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea, whatever passes along the paths of the seas. |
| 9O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! | 9O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! |
