For the Chief Musician; set to the Gittith. A Psalm of David.

1 O Jehovah, our Lord,

How excellent is thy name in all the earth,

Who hast set thy glory upon the heavens!

2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou established strength,

Because of thine adversaries,

That thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.

3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers,

The moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him?

And the son of man, that thou visitest him?

5 For thou hast made him but little lower than God,

And crownest him with glory and honor.

6 Thou makest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands;

Thou hast put all things under his feet:

7 All sheep and oxen,

Yea, and the beasts of the field,

8 The birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea,

Whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.

9 O Jehovah, our Lord,

How excellent is thy name in all the earth!

大卫的诗，交给诗班长，用"迦特"的乐器。 1 耶和华我们的主啊！

你的名在全地是多么威严，

你把你的荣美彰显在天上。

2 因你仇敌的缘故，

你从小孩和婴儿的口中，

得着了赞美*"得着了赞美"或译："建立了能力"，

使仇敌和报仇的无话可说。

3 我观看你手所造的天，

和你所安放的月亮和星星。

4 啊！人算甚么，你竟记念他？

世人算甚么，你竟眷顾他？

5 你使他比天使*"天使"或译："　神"低微一点，

却赐给他荣耀尊贵作冠冕。

6 你叫他管理你手所造的，

把万物都放在他的脚下，

7 就是所有的牛羊、

田间的走兽、

8 空中的飞鸟、海里的鱼，

和海里游行的水族。

9 耶和华我们的主啊！

你的名在全地是多么威严。
