| 2Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants You have ordained strength, Because of Your enemies, That You may silence 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 Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have 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 You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him? | 4what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him? |
| 5For You have made him a little lower than the angels, And You have crowned him with glory and honor. | 5Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor. |
| 6You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have 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— Even the beasts of the field, | 7all sheep and oxen, and also the beasts of the field, |
| 8The birds of the air, And the fish of the sea That pass 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 Your name in all the earth! | 9O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! |
