You have set your r glory above the heavens.
2
s Out of the mouth of babies and infants,
you have established t strength because of your foes,

3
When I v look at your heavens, the work of your w fingers,
the moon and the stars, x which you have set in place,
4
y what is man that you are z mindful of him,
and a the son of man that you b care for him?
5
Yet you have made him a little lower than c the heavenly beings
and crowned him with d glory and honor.
6
You have given him e dominion over the works of your hands;
f you have put all things under his feet,
7
all sheep and oxen,
and also the beasts of the field,
8
the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea,
whatever passes along the paths of the seas.
9
O Lord, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!
