New Living Translation | Christian Standard Bible |
1O LORD, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth! Your glory is higher than the heavens. | 1LORD, our Lord, how magnificent is your name throughout the earth! You have covered the heavens with your majesty. |
2You have taught children and infants to tell of your strength, silencing your enemies and all who oppose you. | 2From the mouths of infants and nursing babies, you have established a stronghold on account of your adversaries in order to silence the enemy and the avenger. |
3When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers— the moon and the stars you set in place— | 3When I observe your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you set in place, |
4what are mere mortals that you should think about them, human beings that you should care for them? | 4what is a human being that you remember him, a son of man that you look after him? |
5Yet you made them only a little lower than God and crowned them with glory and honor. | 5You made him little less than God and crowned him with glory and honor. |
6You gave them charge of everything you made, putting all things under their authority— | 6You made him ruler over the works of your hands; you put everything under his feet: |
7the flocks and the herds and all the wild animals, | 7all the sheep and oxen, as well as the animals in the wild, |
8the birds in the sky, the fish in the sea, and everything that swims the ocean currents. | 8the birds of the sky, and the fish of the sea that pass through the currents of the seas. |
9O LORD, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth! | 9LORD, our Lord, how magnificent is your name throughout the earth! |
