¹ Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in the whole earth! You have made your glory higher than the heavens. ² You have made sure that children and infants praise you. You have done it because of your enemies. You have done it to put a stop to their talk. ³ I think about the heavens. I think about what your fingers have created. I think about the moon and stars that you have set in place. ⁴ What is a human being that you think about him? What is a son of man that you take care of him? ⁵ You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings. You placed on him a crown of glory and honor. ⁶ You made human beings the rulers over all that your hands have created. You put everything under their control. ⁷ They rule over all flocks and herds and over the wild animals. ⁸ They rule over the birds of the air and over the fish in the ocean. They rule over everything that swims in the oceans. ⁹ Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in the whole earth!
