1To the Chief Musician. On the instrument of Gath. A Psalm of David. O LORD, our Lord, How excellent is Your name in all the earth, Who have set Your glory above 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.
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.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 consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have ordained,3When I observe Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You 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 remember him, the son of man that You look after him?
5For You have made him a little lower than the angels, And You have crowned him with glory and honor.5You made him little less than God 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 made him lord over the works of Your hands; You put everything under his feet:
7All sheep and oxen— Even the beasts of the field,7all the sheep and oxen, as well as the animals in the wild,
8The birds of the air, And the fish of the sea That pass through the paths of the seas.8the birds of the sky, and the fish of the sea that pass through the currents of the seas.
9O LORD, our Lord, How excellent is Your name in all the earth!9Yahweh, our Lord, how magnificent is Your name throughout the earth!
