| 1For the music director, according to the gittith style; a psalm of David. O LORD, our Lord, how magnificent is your reputation throughout the earth! You reveal your majesty in the heavens above! | 1LORD, our Lord, how excellent is your name in all the earth! You set your glory above the heavens! |
| 2From the mouths of children and nursing babies you have ordained praise on account of your adversaries, so that you might put an end to the vindictive enemy. | 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 look up at the heavens, which your fingers made, and see the moon and the stars, which you set in place, | 3When I look at the heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars that you established— |
| 4Of what importance is the human race, that you should notice them? Of what importance is mankind, that you should pay attention to them, | 4what is man that you take notice of him, or the son of man that you pay attention to him? |
| 5and make them a little less than the heavenly beings? You grant mankind honor and majesty; | 5You made him a little less than divine, but you crowned him with glory and honor. |
| 6you appoint them to rule over your creation; you have placed everything under their authority, | 6You gave him dominion over the work of your hands, you put all things under his feet: |
| 7including all the sheep and cattle, as well as the wild animals, | 7Sheep and cattle—all of them, wild creatures of the field, |
| 8the birds in the sky, the fish in the sea and everything that moves through the currents of the seas. | 8birds in the sky, fish in the sea— whatever moves through the currents of the oceans. |
| 9O LORD, our Lord, how magnificent is your reputation throughout the earth! | 9LORD, our Lord, how excellent is your name in all the earth! |
