For the director of music. According to gittith.^[b] A psalm of David.

Lord , our Lord, how majestic is your name^(a) in all the earth! You have set your glory^(b) in the heavens.^(c)

Through the praise of children and infants you have established a stronghold^(d) against your enemies, to silence the foe^(e) and the avenger.

When I consider your heavens,^(f) the work of your fingers,^(g) the moon and the stars,^(h) which you have set in place,

what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them?^[c](i)

You have made them^[d] a little lower than the angels^[e](j) and crowned them^[f] with glory and honor.^(k)

You made them rulers^(l) over the works of your hands;^(m) you put everything under their^[g] feet:⁽ⁿ⁾

all flocks and herds,^(o) and the animals of the wild,^(p)

the birds in the sky, and the fish in the sea,^(q) all that swim the paths of the seas.

Lord , our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!^(r)
