2 From [the] mouth of children - and suckling-children you have established strength on account of opposers your to put an end to an enemy and an avenger.

You have taught little children and infants to praise you; they cause your enemies and those who try to (get revenge on/get rid of) you to be silent.

3 If I will see heavens your [the] works fingers your [the] moon and [the] stars which you have established.

When I look up at the sky [at night], and see the things that you have made— the moon and the stars that you have set in place—

4 What? [is] humankind that you will remember him and a son of humankind that you will pay attention to him.

5 And you have made lack him little from God and honor and majesty you crown him.

You made the angels in heaven to be only a little more important than we are; you caused us to be like kings [MET] and you gave us splendor and honor [DOU]!

6 You make rule him over [the] works of hands your everything you have put under feet his.

You put us in charge of everything that you made; you gave us authority over all things—

7 Sheep and cattle all of them and also [the] animals of [the] field.

the sheep and the cattle, and even the wild animals,

8 [the] bird[s] of [the] heavens And [the] fish of the sea [that which] passes through [the] paths of [the] seas.

9 O Yahweh lord our how! majestic [is] name your in all the earth.

Yahweh, our Lord, people all over the world know that you [MTY] are very great!
