1For the end, concerning the wine presses, a Psalm of David. O Lord, our Lord, how wonderful is your name in all the earth! for your magnificence is exalted above the heavens.
1For the Chief Musician; on an instrument of Gath. A Psalm by David. Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens!
2Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings have you perfected praise, because of your enemies; that you might put down the enemy and avenger.
2From the lips of babes and infants you have established strength, because of your adversaries, that you might silence the enemy and the avenger.
3For I will regard the heavens, the work of your fingers; the moon and stars, which you have established.
3When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have ordained,
4What is man, that you are mindful of him? or the son of man, that you visit him?
4what is man, that you think of him? What is the son of man, that you care for him?
5You made him a little less than angels, you have crowned him with glory and honor;
5For you have made him a little lower than the angels, and crowned him with glory and honor.
6and you have set him over the works of your hands: you have put all things under his feet:
6You make him ruler over the works of your hands. You have put all things under his feet:
7sheep and all oxen, yesand the cattle of the field;
7All sheep and cattle, yes, and the animals of the field,
8the birds of the sky, and the fish of the sea, the [creatures] passing through the paths of the sea.
8the birds of the sky, the fish of the sea, and whatever passes through the paths of the seas.
9O Lord our Lord, how wonderful is your name in all the earth!
9Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
