For the choir director: on the * Gittith. i A Davidic psalm.
1 * Yahweh, our Lord,
how magnificent is Your name throughout the earth! j
You have covered the heavens with Your majesty. k l
2 Because of Your adversaries,
You have established a stronghold m
from the mouths of children and nursing infants n
to silence the enemy and the avenger.
3 When I observe Your heavens,
the work of Your fingers,
the moon and the stars,
which You set in place, o
4 what is man that You remember him,
the son of man that You look after him? p
5 You made him little less than God q r
and crowned him with glory and honor.
6 You made him lord over the works of Your hands;
You put everything under his feet: s t
as well as the animals in the wild,
and the fish of the sea
that pass through the currents of the seas. u
how magnificent is Your name throughout the earth!
