1 To the Overseer, 'On the Gittith.' A Psalm of David. Jehovah, our Lord, How honourable Thy name in all the earth! Who settest thine honour on 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 From the mouths of infants and sucklings Thou hast founded strength, Because of Thine adversaries, To still an enemy and a self-avenger. 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 see Thy heavens, a work of Thy fingers, Moon and stars that Thou didst establish. 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 rememberest him? The son of man that Thou inspectest 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 causest him to lack a little of Godhead, And with honour and majesty compassest him. 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 dost cause him to rule Over the works of Thy hands, All Thou hast placed 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 beasts 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 Bird of the heavens, and 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 Jehovah, our Lord, How honourable 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!
