TO THE OVERSEER. ON THE GITTITH. A PSALM OF DAVID. YHWH, our Lord, How majestic [is] Your Name in all the earth, Who have set Your splendor on the heavens!

2 From the mouths of infants and sucklings Thou hast founded strength, Because of Thine adversaries, To still an enemy and a self-avenger.

From the mouths of infants and sucklings You have founded strength, Because of Your adversaries, To still an enemy and a self-avenger.

3 For I see Thy heavens, a work of Thy fingers, Moon and stars that Thou didst establish.

4 What [is] man that Thou rememberest him? The son of man that Thou inspectest him?

What [is] man that You remember him? The son of man that You inspect him?

5 And causest him to lack a little of Godhead, And with honour and majesty compassest him.

You make him a little lower than the gods [[or God]], And surround him with glory and majesty.

6 Thou dost cause him to rule Over the works of Thy hands, All Thou hast placed under his feet.

You cause him to rule Over the works of Your hands, You have placed all under his feet.

7 Sheep and oxen, all of them, And also beasts of the field,

Sheep and oxen, all of them, And also beasts of the field,

8 Bird of the heavens, and fish of the sea, Passing through the paths of the seas!

Bird of the heavens, and fish of the sea, Passing through the paths of the seas!

9 Jehovah, our Lord, How honourable Thy name in all the earth!

YHWH, our Lord, How majestic [is] Your Name in all the earth!
