To the director; upon the Gitʹtith. A melody of David.
8 O Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah} our Lord, how majestic your name is throughout the earth;
You have set your splendor even higher than the heavens!
2 Out of the mouth of children and infants you have established strength
On account of your adversaries,
To silence the enemy and the avenger.
3 When I see your heavens, the works of your fingers,
The moon and the stars that you have prepared,
4 What is mortal man that you keep him in mind,
And a son of man that you take care of him?
5 You made him a little lower than godlike ones,
And you crowned him with glory and splendor.
6 You gave him dominion over the works of your hands;
You have put everything under his feet:
7 All the flocks and cattle,
8 The birds of the heavens and the fish of the sea,
Whatever passes through the paths of the seas.
9 O Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah} our Lord, how majestic your name is throughout the earth!
