VULGATANEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 In finem, pro torcularibus. Psalmus David.1 For the leader; "upon the gittith." A psalm of David.
2 Domine, Dominus noster,
quam admirabile est nomen tuum in universa terra !
quoniam elevata est magnificentia tua super cælos.
2 O LORD, our Lord, how awesome is your name through all the earth! You have set your majesty above the heavens!
3 Ex ore infantium et lactentium perfecisti laudem propter inimicos tuos,
ut destruas inimicum et ultorem.
3 Out of the mouths of babes and infants you have drawn a defense against your foes, to silence enemy and avenger.
4 Quoniam videbo cælos tuos, opera digitorum tuorum,
lunam et stellas quæ tu fundasti.
4 When I see your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and stars that you set in place--
5 Quid est homo, quod memor es ejus ?
aut filius hominis, quoniam visitas eum ?
5 What are humans that you are mindful of them, mere mortals that you care for them?
6 Minuisti eum paulominus ab angelis ;
gloria et honore coronasti eum ;
6 Yet you have made them little less than a god, crowned them with glory and honor.
7 et constituisti eum super opera manuum tuarum.
7 You have given them rule over the works of your hands, put all things at their feet:
8 Omnia subjecisti sub pedibus ejus,
oves et boves universas,
insuper et pecora campi,
8 All sheep and oxen, even the beasts of the field,
9 volucres cæli, et pisces maris
qui perambulant semitas maris.
9 The birds of the air, the fish of the sea, and whatever swims the paths of the seas.
10 Domine, Dominus noster,
quam admirabile est nomen tuum in universa terra !
10 O LORD, our Lord, how awesome is your name through all the earth!
