| 1For the director of music. According to gittith. A psalm of David. LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory in the heavens. | 1O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens. |
| 2Through the praise of children and infants you have established a stronghold against your enemies, to silence the foe 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 set in place, | 3When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, |
| 4what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them? | 4what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him? |
| 5You have made them a little lower than the angels and crowned them with glory and honor. | 5Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor. |
| 6You made them rulers over the works of your hands; you put everything under their feet: | 6You have given him dominion over the works of your hands; you have put all things under his feet, |
| 7all flocks and herds, and the animals of the wild, | 7all sheep and oxen, and also the beasts of the field, |
| 8the birds in the sky, and the fish in the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas. | 8the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea, whatever passes along the paths of the seas. |
| 9LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! | 9O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! |
