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