1 εις το τελος υπερ των ληνων ψαλμος τω δαυιδ1 [For the choirmaster On the . . . of Gath Psalm Of David] Yahweh our Lord, how majestic is your namethroughout the world! Whoever keeps singing of your majesty higher than the heavens,
2 κυριε ο κυριος ημων ως θαυμαστον το ονομα σου εν παση τη γη οτι επηρθη η μεγαλοπρεπεια σου υπερανω των ουρανων2 even through the mouths of children, or of babes in arms, you make him a fortress, firm against yourfoes, to subdue the enemy and the rebel.
3 εκ στοματος νηπιων και θηλαζοντων κατηρτισω αινον ενεκα των εχθρων σου του καταλυσαι εχθρον και εκδικητην3 I look up at your heavens, shaped by your fingers, at the moon and the stars you set firm-
4 οτι οψομαι τους ουρανους εργα των δακτυλων σου σεληνην και αστερας α συ εθεμελιωσας4 what are human beings that you spare a thought for them, or the child of Adam that you care for him?
5 τι εστιν ανθρωπος οτι μιμνησκη αυτου η υιος ανθρωπου οτι επισκεπτη αυτον5 Yet you have made him little less than a god, you have crowned him with glory and beauty,
6 ηλαττωσας αυτον βραχυ τι παρ' αγγελους δοξη και τιμη εστεφανωσας αυτον6 made him lord of the works of your hands, put al things under his feet,
7 και κατεστησας αυτον επι τα εργα των χειρων σου παντα υπεταξας υποκατω των ποδων αυτου7 sheep and cattle, all of them, and even the wild beasts,
8 προβατα και βοας πασας ετι δε και τα κτηνη του πεδιου8 birds in the sky, fish in the sea, when he makes his way across the ocean.
9 τα πετεινα του ουρανου και τους ιχθυας της θαλασσης τα διαπορευομενα τριβους θαλασσων9 Yahweh our Lord, how majestic your name throughout the world!
10 κυριε ο κυριος ημων ως θαυμαστον το ονομα σου εν παση τη γη
