1 To the choirmaster on the Gittith a psalm of David. O Yahweh lord our how! majestic [is] name your in all the earth [the one] who set! splendor your above the heavens.

For the Leader; upon the Gittith. A Psalm of David. O LORD, our Lord, how glorious is Thy name in all the earth! whose majesty is rehearsed above the heavens.

2 From [the] mouth of children - and sucking children you have established strength on account of opposers your to put an end to an enemy and an avenger.

Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast Thou founded strength, because of Thine adversaries; that Thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.

3 If I will see heavens your [the] works fingers your [the] moon and [the] stars which you have established.

When I behold Thy heavens, the work of Thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which Thou hast established;

4 What? [is] humankind that you will remember him and a son of humankind that you will pay attention to him.

What is man, that Thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that Thou thinkest of him?

5 And you have made lack him little from God and honor and majesty you crown him.

Yet Thou hast made him but little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.

6 You make rule him over [the] works of hands your everything you have put under feet his.

Thou hast made him to have dominion over the works of Thy hands; Thou hast put all things under His feet:

7 Sheep and cattle all of them and also [the] animals of [the] field.

Sheep and oxen, all of them, yea, and the beasts of the field;

8 [the] bird[s] of [the] heavens And [the] fish of the sea [that which] passes through [the] paths of [the] seas.

The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea; whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.

9 O Yahweh lord our how! majestic [is] name your in all the earth.

O LORD, our Lord, how glorious is Thy name in all the earth!
