1 [To the chief Musician. Upon the Gittith. A Psalm of David.] Jehovah our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy majesty above the heavens.

2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou established praise because of thine adversaries, to still the enemy and the avenger.

3 When I see thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and stars, which thou hast established;

4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

5 Thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and splendour.

6 Thou hast made him to rule over the works of thy hands; thou hast put everything under his feet:

7 Sheep and oxen, all of them, and also the beasts of the field;

8 The fowl of the heavens, and the fishes of the sea, {whatever} passeth through the paths of the seas.

9 Jehovah our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!

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! 人算什么, 你竟记念他?世人算什么, 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。
