1לַמְנַצֵּחַ עַֽל־הַגִּתִּית מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִֽדFor the leader; on the gittith. A psalm of David.
2יְהֹוָה אֲדֹנֵינוּ מָה־אַדִּיר שִׁמְךָ בְּכׇל־הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר תְּנָה הוֹדְךָ עַל־הַשָּׁמָֽיִםO ETERNAL One, our Sovereign, how majestic is Your name throughout the earth— You who have covered the heavens with Your splendor!
3מִפִּי עוֹלְלִים וְֽיֹנְקִים יִסַּדְתָּ עֹז לְמַעַן צוֹרְרֶיךָ לְהַשְׁבִּית אוֹיֵב וּמִתְנַקֵּֽםFrom the mouths of infants and sucklings You have founded strength on account of Your foes, to put an end to enemy and avenger.
4כִּֽי־אֶרְאֶה שָׁמֶיךָ מַעֲשֵׂה אֶצְבְּעֹתֶיךָ יָרֵחַ וְכוֹכָבִים אֲשֶׁר כּוֹנָֽנְתָּהWhen I behold Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and stars that You set in place,
5מָה־אֱנוֹשׁ כִּֽי־תִזְכְּרֶנּוּ וּבֶן־אָדָם כִּי תִפְקְדֶֽנּוּwhat are human beings that You have been mindful of them, mortals that You have taken note of them,
6וַתְּחַסְּרֵהוּ מְּעַט מֵאֱלֹהִים וְכָבוֹד וְהָדָר תְּעַטְּרֵֽהוּthat You have made them little less than divine, and adorned them with glory and majesty?
7תַּמְשִׁילֵהוּ בְּמַעֲשֵׂי יָדֶיךָ כֹּל שַׁתָּה תַֽחַת־רַגְלָֽיוYou have made them master over Your handiwork, laying the world at their feet—
8צֹנֶה וַאֲלָפִים כֻּלָּם וְגַם בַּהֲמוֹת שָׂדָֽיsheep and oxen, all of them, and wild beasts, too;
9צִפּוֹר שָׁמַיִם וּדְגֵי הַיָּם עֹבֵר אׇרְחוֹת יַמִּֽיםthe birds of the heavens, the fish of the sea, whatever travels the paths of the seas.
