8
For the chief musician; set to the gittith style. A psalm of David.
1 Yahweh our Lord, how magnificent is your name in all the earth,
you who reveal your glory in the heavens above.
2 Out of the mouth of babies and infants you have established praise *The Hebrew text can be read either as established praise or established strength .
because of your enemies,
so that you might silence both the enemy and the avenger.
3 When I look up at your heavens, which your fingers have made,
the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,
4 Of what importance is the human race that you notice them,
or mankind that you pay attention to them?
5 Yet you have made them only a little lower than the heavenly beings
and have crowned them with glory and honor.
6 You make him to rule over the works of your hands;
you have put all things under his feet:
7 all sheep and oxen,
and even the animals of the field,
8 the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea,
everything that passes through the currents of the seas.
9 Yahweh our Lord,
how magnificent is your name in all the earth!
