How majestic is your name!

1
TO THE OVERSEER. ON THE GITTITH. A PSALM OF DAVID. YHWH, our Lord, || How majestic [is] Your Name in all the earth, || Who have set Your splendor on the heavens!
2
From the mouths of infants and sucklings || You have founded strength, || Because of Your adversaries, || To still an enemy and a self-avenger.
3
For I see Your heavens, a work of Your fingers, || [The] moon and stars that You established.
4
What [is] man that You remember him? The son of man that You inspect him?
5
You make him a little lower than the gods [[ or God]], || And surround him with glory and majesty.
6
You cause him to rule || Over the works of Your hands, || You have placed all under his feet.
7
Sheep and oxen, all of them, || And also beasts of the field,
8
Bird of the heavens, and fish of the sea, || Passing through the paths of the seas!
9
YHWH, our Lord, || How majestic [is] Your Name in all the earth!
