For the director of music. According to gittith. A psalm of David.
1
[a]
[b]
LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory in the heavens.
2
Through the praise of children and infants you have established a stronghold against your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger.
3
When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,
4
what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them?
[c]
5
You have made them
[d]
a little lower than the angels
[e]
and crowned them
[f]
with glory and honor.
6
You made them rulers over the works of your hands; you put everything under their
[g]
feet:
7
all flocks and herds, and the animals of the wild,
8
the birds in the sky, and the fish in the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas.
9
LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
