¹For the choir leader. By the Gittith. A psalm of David.
LORD, our Lord, how great is your name in all the earth!
You have set your glory above the heavens.a ²You have made children and babies speak your praise.
You did it because of your enemies,
to silence the enemy and the one who wants revenge. ³When I look at your heavens, which your fingers made,
the moon and the stars, which you set in place, ⁴what is man that you think about him?
What is the son of man that you care for him? ⁵You made him a little lower than the angels.
You put glory and honor on him like a crown. ⁶You made him ruler over what your hands made.
You put everything under his feet: ⁷all sheep and cattle,
and even the wild animals, ⁸the birds in the sky and the fish in the sea,
all that swim the paths of the seas. ⁹LORD, our Lord,
how great is your name in all the earth!
