 神的威嚴,人的尊貴

大衛的詩,交給詩班長,用“迦特”的樂器。

耶和華我們的主啊!

你的名在全地是多麼威嚴,

你把你的榮美彰顯在天上。

因你仇敵的緣故,

你從小孩和嬰兒的口中,

得著了讚美(“得著了讚美”或譯:“建立了能力”),

使仇敵和報仇的無話可說。

我觀看你手所造的天,

和你所安放的月亮和星星。

啊!人算甚麼,你竟記念他?

世人算甚麼,你竟眷顧他?

你使他比天使(“天使”或譯:“ 神”)低微一點,

卻賜給他榮耀尊貴作冠冕。

你叫他管理你手所造的,

把萬物都放在他的腳下,

就是所有的牛羊、

田間的走獸、

空中的飛鳥、海裡的魚,

和海裡游行的水族。

耶和華我們的主啊!

你的名在全地是多麼威嚴。

How Majestic Is Your Name

To the choirmaster: according to The (A)Gittith.[a] A Psalm of David.

O Lord, our Lord,
    how majestic is your (B)name in all the earth!
You have set your (C)glory above the heavens.
    (D)Out of the mouth of babies and infants,
you have established (E)strength because of your foes,
    to still (F)the enemy and the avenger.

When I (G)look at your heavens, the work of your (H)fingers,
    the moon and the stars, (I)which you have set in place,
(J)what is man that you are (K)mindful of him,
    and (L)the son of man that you (M)care for him?

Yet you have made him a little lower than (N)the heavenly beings[b]
    and crowned him with (O)glory and honor.
You have given him (P)dominion over the works of your hands;
    (Q)you have put all things under his feet,
all sheep and oxen,
    and also the beasts of the field,
the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea,
    whatever passes along the paths of the seas.

O Lord, our Lord,
    how majestic is your name in all the earth!
