Psalms

¹ To the Chief Musician; set to a Philistine lute [or perhaps to a particular Hittite tune]. A Psalm of David. O LORD, our Lord, How majestic and glorious and excellent is Your name in all the earth! You have displayed Your splendor above the heavens.

² Out of the mouths of infants and nursing babes You have established strength Because of Your adversaries, That You might silence the enemy and make the revengeful cease.

³ When I see and consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have established,

⁴ What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of [earthborn] man that You care for him?

⁵ Yet You have made him a little lower than God, And You have crowned him with glory and honor.

⁶ You made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet,

⁷ All sheep and oxen, And also the beasts of the field,

⁸ The birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, Whatever passes through the paths of the seas.

⁹ O LORD, our Lord, How majestic and glorious and excellent is Your name in all the earth!
