| 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! |
| 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. |
| 3. | When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have ordained; |
| 4. | what is man, that you think of him? What is the son of man, that you care for 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. |
| 6. | You make him ruler over the works of your hands. You have put all things under his feet: |
| 7. | All sheep and cattle, yes, and the animals of the field, |
| 8. | The birds of the sky, the fish of the sea, and whatever passes through the paths of the seas. |
| 9. | Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! |
