| 1. | {For the Chief Musician; on an instrument of Gath. A Psalm by David.} Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth, who has set your glory above the heavens! | To the chief music-maker on the Gittith. A Psalm. Of David. | O LORD, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens. | ||
| 2. | From the lips of babes and infants you have established strength, because of your adversaries, that you might silence the enemy and the avenger. | O Lord, our Lord, whose glory is higher than the heavens, how noble is your name in all the earth! | Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger. | ||
| 3. | When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have ordained; | You have made clear your strength even out of the mouths of babies at the breast, because of those who are against you; so that you may put to shame the cruel and violent man. | When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; | ||
| 4. | what is man, that you think of him? What is the son of man, that you care for him? | When I see your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have put in their places; | What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? | ||
| 5. | For you have made him a little lower than God,{Hebrew: Elohim. The word Elohim, used here, usually means "God," but can also mean "gods," "princes," or "angels."} and crowned him with glory and honor. | What is man, that you keep him in mind? the son of man, that you take him into account? | For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. | ||
| 6. | You make him ruler over the works of your hands. You have put all things under his feet: | For you have made him only a little lower than the gods, crowning him with glory and honour. | Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet: | ||
| 7. | All sheep and cattle, yes, and the animals of the field, | You have made him ruler over the works of your hands; you have put all things under his feet; | All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field; | ||
| 8. | The birds of the sky, the fish of the sea, and whatever passes through the paths of the seas. | All sheep and oxen, and all the beasts of the field; | The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas. | ||
| 9. | Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! | The birds of the air and the fish of the sea, and whatever goes through the deep waters of the seas. | O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! | ||
