¹ (A psalm by David for the music leader.) Our LORD and Ruler, your name is wonderful everywhere on earth! You let your glory be seen in the heavens above. ² With praises from children and from tiny infants, you have built a fortress. It makes your enemies silent, and all who turn against you are left speechless. ³ I often think of the heavens your hands have made, and of the moon and stars you put in place. ⁴ Then I ask, "Why do you care about us humans? Why are you concerned for us weaklings?" ⁵ You made us a little lower than you yourself, and you have crowned us with glory and honor. ⁶ You let us rule everything your hands have made. And you put all of it under our power-- ⁷ the sheep and the cattle, and every wild animal, ⁸ the birds in the sky, the fish in the sea, and all ocean creatures. ⁹ Our LORD and Ruler, your name is wonderful everywhere on earth!
