To the director,[35] on the gittith.[36] A song of David.[37]
<1> Lord our Master,
your name is the most wonderful name in all the earth!
Your name brings you praise
everywhere in heaven.
<2> From the mouths of children and babies
come songs of praise to you.
They sing of your power
to silence your enemies who were seeking revenge.
<3> I look at the heavens
that you made with your hands.
I see the moon and stars you created, and I wonder:
<4> Why are people so important to you?
Why do you even remember them?
Why are people[38] so important to you?
Why do you even notice them?
<5> Yet, you made people[39] almost like gods
and crowned them with glory and honor.
<6> You put them in charge
of everything you made.
You put everything under their[40] control.
<7> People rule over the sheep and cattle
and all the wild animals.
<8> They rule over the birds in the sky
and over the fish that swim in the ocean currents.
<9> Lord our Master,
your name is the most wonderful name in all the earth!
