1 O LORD, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth! Your glory is higher than the heavens. 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 You have taught children and infants to tell of your strength, silencing your enemies and all who oppose you. 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 look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers— the moon and the stars you set in place— 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 are mere mortals that you should think about them, human beings that you should care for them? 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 Yet you made them only a little lower than God and crowned them with glory and honor. 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 You gave them charge of everything you made, putting all things under their authority— 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 the flocks and the herds and all the wild animals, all sheep and oxen, and also the beasts of the field, all flocks and herds, and the animals of the wild,
8 the birds in the sky, the fish in the sea, and everything that swims the ocean currents. 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 LORD, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth! 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!
