For the chief musician, 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.

LORD, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth! You have set Your glory above the heavens.

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.

Out of the mouths of infants and nursing babies, You have established strength because of Your adversaries, to silence the enemy and the avenger.

When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

When I look at Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon, and the stars that You have set in place—

What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

what is humanity that You remember them, and the son of man that You care for him?

For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.

You made him a little lower than God, and crowned him with glory and honor.

Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:

You made him ruler over the works of Your hands; You put everything under his feet—

All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;

sheep and cattle, all of them, and even 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.

the birds of the sky, and the fish of the sea passing through the paths of the seas.

O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!

LORD, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth!
