1For the leader. On the gittit. A psalm of David: ADONAI! Our Lord! How glorious is your name throughout the earth! The fame of your majesty spreads even above the heavens!
2From the mouths of babies and infants at the breast you established strength because of your foes, in order that you might silence the enemy and the avenger.
3When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and stars that you set in place -
4what are mere mortals, that you concern yourself with them; humans, that you watch over them with such care?
5You made him but little lower than the angels, you crowned him with glory and honor,
6you had him rule what your hands made, you put everything under his feet -
7sheep and oxen, all of them, also the animals in the wilds,
8the birds in the air, the fish in the sea, whatever passes through the paths of the seas.
9ADONAI! Our Lord! How glorious is your name throughout the earth!
