| [1]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. |
[1]O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the world! Which hast set thy glory above the heavens. |
| [2]From the mouths of infants and sucklings Thou hast founded strength, Because of Thine adversaries, To still an enemy and a self-avenger. |
[2]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]For I see Thy heavens, a work of Thy fingers, Moon and stars that Thou didst establish. |
[3]When I behold thine heavens , even the works of thy fingers, the moon and the stars which thou hast ordained, |
| [4]What [is] man that Thou rememberest him? The son of man that Thou inspectest him? |
[4]What is man, say I, that thou art mindful of him? And the son of man, that thou visitest him? |
| [5]And causest him to lack a little of Godhead, And with honour and majesty compassest him. |
[5]For thou hast made him a little lower than God, and crowned him with glory and worship. |
| [6]Thou dost cause him to rule Over the works of Thy hands, All Thou hast placed under his feet. |
[6]Thou hast made him to have dominion in the works of thine hands. thou hast put all things under his feet: |
| [7]Sheep and oxen, all of them, And also beasts of the field, |
[7]All sheep and oxen: yea, and the beasts of the field: |
| [8]Bird of the heavens, and fish of the sea, Passing through the paths of the seas! |
[8]The fowls of the air, and the fish of the sea, and that which passeth through the paths of the seas. |
| [9]Jehovah, our Lord, How honourable Thy name in all the earth! |
[9]O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the world! |
