The Glory of the Lord in Creation

To the Chief Musician. [a]On the instrument of Gath. A Psalm of David.

O Lord, our Lord,
How (A)excellent is Your name in all the earth,
Who have (B)set Your glory above the heavens!

(C)Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants
You have [b]ordained strength,
Because of Your enemies,
That You may silence (D)the enemy and the avenger.

When I (E)consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,
The moon and the stars, which You have ordained,
(F)What is man that You are mindful of him,
And the son of man that You (G)visit[c] him?
For You have made him a little lower than [d]the angels,
And You have crowned him with glory and honor.

(H)You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands;
(I)You have put all things under his feet,
All sheep and oxen—
Even the beasts of the field,
The birds of the air,
And the fish of the sea
That pass through the paths of the seas.

(J)O Lord, our Lord,
How excellent is Your name in all the earth!

За първия певец на гетския инструмент. Давидов псалом. Иеова, Господи наш, Колко е превъзходно Твоето име по цялата земя; Ти си поставил славата Си над небесата.

Из устата на младенците и сучещите Укрепил си сила поради противниците Си, За да накараш да млъкне врагът и отмъстителят.

Като гледам Твоите небеса, делото на Твоите пръсти, Луната и звездите, които Ти си отредил,

Казвам си: Що е човек та да го помниш? Или човешки син та да го посещаваш?

А Ти си го направил само малко по-долен от ангелите*, И със слава и чест си го увенчал.

Поставил си го господар над делата на ръцете Си; Всичко си подчинил под нозете му,

Всичките овци и говеда, Още и животните на полето,

Въздушните птици, морските риби, И всичко що минава през морските пътища.

Иеова, Господи наш, Колко е превъзходно Твоето име по цялата земя!

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!
