To the chief Musician[H5329] upon Gittith[H1665], A Psalm[H4210] of David[H1732]. O LORD[H3068] our Lord[H113], how excellent[H117] is thy name[H8034] in all the earth[H776]! who hast set[H5414] thy glory[H1935] above the heavens[H8064].
2
Out of the mouth[H6310] of babes[H5768] and sucklings[H3243] hast thou ordained[H3245]strength[H5797] because of thine enemies[H6887], that thou mightest still[H7673] the enemy[H341] and the avenger[H5358].
3
When I consider[H7200] thy heavens[H8064], the work[H4639] of thy fingers[H676], the moon[H3394] and the stars[H3556], which thou hast ordained[H3559];
4
What is man[H582], that thou art mindful[H2142] of him? and the son[H1121] of man[H120], that thou visitest[H6485] him?
5
For thou hast made him a little[H4592]lower[H2637] than the angels[H430], and hast crowned[H5849] him with glory[H3519] and honour[H1926].
6
Thou madest him to have dominion[H4910] over the works[H4639] of thy hands[H3027]; thou hast put[H7896] all things under his feet[H7272]:
7
All sheep[H6792] and oxen[H504], yea, and the beasts[H929] of the field[H7704];
8
The fowl[H6833] of the air[H8064], and the fish[H1709] of the sea[H3220], and whatsoever passeth through[H5674] the paths[H734] of the seas[H3220].
9
O LORD[H3068] our Lord[H113], how excellent[H117] is thy name[H8034] in all the earth[H776]!
