1 For the choir director: A psalm of David, to be accompanied by a stringed instrument.O Lord, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth!Your glory is higher than the heavens.
2 You have taught children and infantsto tell of your strength,silencing your enemiesand all who oppose you.
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 Godand crowned them with glory and honor.
6 You gave them charge of everything you made,putting all things under their authority—
7 the flocks and the herdsand all the wild animals,
8 the birds in the sky, the fish in the sea,and everything that swims the ocean currents.
9 O Lord, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth!
