1 To him that excelleth on Gittith. A Psalme of Dauid. O lord our Lord, how excellent is thy Name in all the worlde! which hast set thy glory aboue the heauens. O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens. For 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.
2 Out of the mouth of babes & suckelings hast thou ordeined strength, because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemie and the auenger. Out of the mouth of babies and infants, you have established strength because of your foes, to still the enemy and the avenger. Through the praise of children and infants you have established a stronghold against your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger.
3 When I beholde thine heauens, euen the workes of thy fingers, the moone and the starres which thou hast ordeined, When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,
4 What is man, say I, that thou art mindefull of him? and the sonne of man, that thou visitest him? what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him? what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them?
5 For thou hast made him a little lower then God, and crowned him with glory and worship. Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor. You have made them a little lower than the angels and crowned them with glory and honor.
6 Thou hast made him to haue dominion in the workes of thine hands: thou hast put all things vnder his feete: You have given him dominion over the works of your hands; you have put all things under his feet, You made them rulers over the works of your hands; you put everything under their feet:
7 All sheepe and oxen: yea, and the beastes of the fielde: all sheep and oxen, and also the beasts of the field, all flocks and herds, and the animals of the wild,
8 The foules of the ayre, and the fish of the sea, and that which passeth through the paths of the seas. the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea, whatever passes along the paths of the seas. the birds in the sky, and the fish in the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas.
9 O Lorde our Lorde, howe excellent is thy Name in all the world! O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
