1 Y ahweh, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth, who has set your glory above the heavens!

2 F rom the lips of babes and infants you have established strength, because of your adversaries, that you might silence the enemy and the avenger.

3 W hen I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have ordained;

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

5 F or you have made him a little lower than God, and crowned him with glory and honor.

6 Y ou make him ruler over the works of your hands. You have put all things under his feet:

7 A ll sheep and cattle, yes, and the animals of the field,

8 T he birds of the sky, the fish of the sea, and whatever passes through the paths of the seas.

9 Y ahweh, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
