Lord, our Lord, your magnificent reputation* fills the earth! Your majesty is greater than the heavens above,
2
and is sung by the voices of children and infants. Your strength counters your opponents, silencing the enemy and the avenger.
3
When I contemplate the heavens that your hands made, the moon and stars that you placed there,
4
What are human beings that you should concern yourself with them? What are people that you should care for them?
5
You created them a little lower than God,* crowning them with glory and majesty.
6
You put them in charge of all that you made, giving them authority over everything:
7
the sheep, the cattle, and the wild animals,
8
the birds in the sky, and the fish in the sea—everything that swims in the ocean.

Lord, our Lord, your magnificent reputation fills the earth!
