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 children and sucklings thou hast founded strength on account of thine enemies, to cause the enemy and the avenger to cease. 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 For I shall see thy heavens, the work of thy fingers; the moon and the stars which thou didst prepare. 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 that thou wilt remember him? and the son of man that thou wilt review 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 And thou wilt diminish him a little more than the messengers, and thou wilt surround him 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 And thou wilt give him dominion over the works of thy hands; thou didst put all under his feet: 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 Sheep and oxen, all of them, and also the cattle of the field; all sheep and oxen, and also the beasts of the field, all flocks and herds, and the animals of the wild,
8 And the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea, passing 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 Jehovah our Lord, how mighty thy name in all 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!
