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.

6 You made them rulers over the works of your hands;

you put everything under their feet:

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

the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,

4 what is man that you are mindful of him,

and the son of man that you care for him?

5 Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings

and crowned him with glory and honor.

6 You have given him dominion over the works of your hands;

you have put all things under his feet,

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.

6 You gave them charge of everything you made,

putting all things under their authority—

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.

6 You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands;

You have put all things under his feet,

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.

6 You put them in charge of everything you made.

You put all things under their control:

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.

6 Thou makest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands;

Thou hast put all things under his feet:

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:

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. 

6 You have made him rule what your hands created. 

You have put everything under his control: 

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.

6 You made him lord over the works of Your hands;

You put everything under his feet:

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.

6 You have given them dominion over the works of your hands;

you have put all things under their feet,

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.

6 You make him over the works of your hands;

all things you have placed under his feet:

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.

6 You made human beings the rulers over all that your hands have created.

You put everything under their control.

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!

6 You make him to rule over the works of Your hands;

You have put all things under his feet,
