A psalm written by David for the choir director, to be accompanied by a stringed instrument

1Yahweh, our Lord, people all over the world know that you [MTY] are very great!

Your glory reaches up higher than the heavens!

2You have taught little children and infants to praise you;

they cause your enemies and those who try to ◄get revenge on/get rid of► you to be silent.

3When I look up at the sky at night,

and see the things that you have made—

the moon and the stars that you have set in place—

4it is amazing to me that [RHQ] you think about people,

that you are concerned about us humans!

5You made the angels in heaven to be only a little more important than we are;

you caused us to be like kings [MET] and you gave us splendor and honor [DOU]!

6You put us in charge of everything that you made;

you gave us authority over all things—

7the sheep and the cattle,

and even the wild animals,

8the birds, the fish,

and everything else that swims in the seas.

9Yahweh, our Lord,

people all over the world know that you [MTY] are very great!
