| 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! | 1LORD, our Lord, how excellent is your name in all the earth! You set your glory above the heavens! |
| 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 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 consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have ordained, | 3When I look at the heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars that you established— |
| 4What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him? | 4what is man that you take notice of him, or the son of man that you pay attention to him? |
| 5For You have made him a little lower than the angels, And You have crowned him with glory and honor. | 5You made him a little less than divine, but you 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 gave him dominion over the work of your hands, you put all things under his feet: |
| 7All sheep and oxen— Even the beasts of the field, | 7Sheep and cattle—all of them, wild creatures of the field, |
| 8The birds of the air, And the fish of the sea That pass through the paths of the seas. | 8birds in the sky, fish in the sea— whatever moves through the currents of the oceans. |
| 9O LORD, our Lord, How excellent is Your name in all the earth! | 9LORD, our Lord, how excellent is your name in all the earth! |
