For the Chief Musician; on an instrument of Gath. A Psalm by David.

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,*8:5 Hebrew: Elohim. The word Elohim, used here, usually means "God", but can also mean "gods", "princes", or "angels". The Septuagint reads "angels" here. See also the quote from the Septuagint in Hebrews 2:7.

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!

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。
