3 When I consider your heavens,

the work of your fingers,

the moon and the stars,

which you have set in place,

4 what is mankind that you are mindful of them,

human beings that you care for them?

5 You have made them a little lower than the angels

and crowned them with glory and honor.

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 a little lower than the angels,

And hast crowned him with glory and honour.

3 When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers—

the moon and the stars you set in place—

4 what are mere mortals that you should think about them,

human beings that you should care for them?

5 Yet you made them only a little lower than God

and crowned them with glory and honor.

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 are mindful of him,

And the son of man that You visit him?

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

And You have crowned him with glory and honor.

3 I look at your heavens,

which you made with your fingers.

I see the moon and stars,

which you created.

4 But why are people even important to you?

Why do you take care of human beings?

5 You made them a little lower than the angels

and crowned them with glory and honor.

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.

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.

3 When I look at your heavens, 

the creation of your fingers, 

the moon and the stars that you have set in place— 

4 what is a mortal that you remember him 

or the Son of Man that you take care of him? 

5 You have made him a little lower than yourself. 

You have crowned him with glory and honor. 

3 When I observe Your heavens,

the work of Your fingers,

the moon and the stars,

which You set in place,

4 what is man that You remember him,

the son of man that You look after him?

5 You made him little less than God

and crowned him with glory and honor.

3 When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,

the moon and the stars that you have established;

4 what are human beings that you are mindful of them,

mortals that you care for them?

5 Yet you have made them a little lower than God,

and crowned them with glory and honor.

3 When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,

the moon and the stars which you set in place—

4 what is a human being that you think of him?

and a child of humankind that you care for him?

5 And you made him a little lower than heavenly beings,

and with glory and with majesty you crowned him.

3 I think about the heavens.

I think about what your fingers have created.

I think about the moon and stars

that you have set in place.

4 What is a human being that you think about him?

What is a son of man that you take care of him?

5 You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings.

You placed on him a crown of glory and honor.

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 take thought of him,

And the son of man that You care for him?

5 Yet You have made him a little lower than God,

And You crown him with glory and majesty!
