O Jehovah, our Lord, How excellent is thy name in all the earth, Who hast set thy glory upon the heavens! 2From the mouths of children and infants You have ordained praise on account of Your adversaries, to silence the enemy and avenger.From the lips of babes and infants you have established strength, because of your adversaries, that you might silence the enemy and the avenger.Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou established strength, Because of thine adversaries, That thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger. 3When I behold Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have set in place—When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have ordained,When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, The moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; 4what is man that You are mindful of him, or the son of man that You care for him?what is man, that you think of him? What is the son of man, that you care for him?What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?What is man, that thou art mindful of him? And the son of man, that thou visitest him? 5You made him a little lower than the angels; You crowned him with glory and honor.For you have made him a little lower than the angels, and crowned him with glory and honor.For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.For thou hast made him but little lower than God, And crownest him with glory and honor. 6You made him ruler of the works of Your hands; You have placed everything under his feet:You make him ruler over the works of your hands. You have put all things under his feet:Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:Thou makest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; Thou hast put all things under his feet: 7all sheep and oxen, and even the beasts of the field,All sheep and cattle, yes, and the animals of the field,All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;All sheep and oxen, Yea, and the beasts of the field, 8the birds of the air and the fish of the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas.the birds of the sky, the fish of the sea, and whatever passes through the paths of the seas.The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.The birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea, Whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas. 9O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth!Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!O Jehovah, our Lord, How excellent is thy name in all the earth!
