You have set your glory
    in the heavens.
² You have made sure that children
    and infants praise you.
Their praise is a wall
    that stops the talk of your enemies.

³ I think about the heavens.
    I think about what your fingers have created.
I think about the moon and stars
    that you have set in place.
⁴ What are human beings that you think about them?
    What is a son of man that you take care of him?
⁵ You have made them a little lower than the angels.
    You placed on them a crown of glory and honor.

⁶ You made human beings rule over everything your hands created.
    You put everything under their control.
⁷ They rule over all flocks and herds
    and over the wild animals.
⁸ They rule over the birds in the sky
    and over the fish in the ocean.
    They rule over everything that swims in the oceans.

⁹ Lord, our Lord,
    how majestic is your name in the whole earth!
