1 O Lord, our Lord, how great is Your name in all the earth. You have set Your shining-greatness above the heavens.

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.

2 O ut of the mouth of children and babies, You have built up strength because of those who hate You, and to quiet those who fight against You.

From the mouths of infants and sucklings Thou hast founded strength, Because of Thine adversaries, To still an enemy and a self-avenger.

3 W hen I look up and think about Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have set in their place,

For I see Thy heavens, a work of Thy fingers, Moon and stars that Thou didst establish.

4 w hat is man, that You think of him, the son of man that You care for him?

What man that Thou rememberest him? The son of man that Thou inspectest him?

5 Y ou made him a little less than the angels and gave him a crown of greatness and honor.

And causest him to lack a little of Godhead, And with honour and majesty compassest him.

6 Y ou made him to rule over the works of Your hands. You put all things under his feet:

Thou dost cause him to rule Over the works of Thy hands, All Thou hast placed under his feet.

7 A ll sheep and cattle, all the wild animals,

Sheep and oxen, all of them, And also beasts of the field,

8 t he birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, and all that pass through the sea.

Bird of the heavens, and fish of the sea, Passing through the paths of the seas!

9 O Lord, our Lord, how great is Your name in all the earth!

Jehovah, our Lord, How honourable Thy name in all the earth!
