Psalms

¹ For the choir director: on the . A psalm of David. LORD, our Lord, how magnificent is your name throughout the earth! You have covered the heavens with your majesty.

² From the mouths of infants and nursing babies, you have established a stronghold on account of your adversaries in order to silence the enemy and the avenger.

³ When I observe your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you set in place,

⁴ what is a human being that you remember him, a son of man that you look after him?

⁵ You made him little less than God and crowned him with glory and honor.

⁶ You made him ruler over the works of your hands; you put everything under his feet:

⁷ all the sheep and oxen, as well as the animals in the wild,

⁸ the birds of the sky, and the fish of the sea that pass through the currents of the seas.

⁹ LORD, our Lord, how magnificent is your name throughout the earth!
