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

You have set your glory above the heavens!

2 From the lips of babes and infants you have established strength,

because of your adversaries, that you might silence the enemy and the avenger.

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

the moon and the stars, which you have ordained,

4 what is man, that you think of him?

What is the son of man, that you care for him?

5 For you have made him a little lower than the angels,

and crowned him with glory and honor.

6 You make him ruler over the works of your hands.

You have put all things under his feet:

7 All sheep and cattle,

yes, and the animals of the field,

8 the birds of the sky, the fish of the sea,

and whatever passes through the paths of the seas.

9 Yahweh, our Lord,

how majestic is your name in all the earth!

1 Vir die musiekleier; op die Gittiet. 'n Psalm van Dawid.

2 o HERE, onse Here, hoe heerlik is u Naam op die ganse aarde! U wat u majesteit gelê het op die hemele.

3 Uit die mond van kinders en suiglinge het U sterkte gegrondves, om u teëstanders ontwil, om die vyand en wraakgierige stil te maak.

4 As ek u hemel aanskou, die werk van u vingers, die maan en die sterre wat U toeberei het --

5 wat is die mens dat U aan hom dink, en die mensekind dat U hom besoek?

6 U het hom 'n weinig minder gemaak as 'n goddelike wese en hom met eer en heerlikheid gekroon.

7 U laat hom heers oor die werke van u hande; U het alles onder sy voete gestel:

8 skape en beeste, die almal, en ook die diere van die veld,

9 die voëls van die hemel en die visse van die see, wat trek deur die paaie van die see. [ (Psalms 8:10) o HERE, onse Here, hoe heerlik is u Naam op die ganse aarde! ]
