Verse YLT Young's Literal Translation KJV King James Version

To the Overseer, `On the Gittith.' A Psalm of David. Jehovah , our Lord, How honourable Thy name in all the earth! Who settest thine honour on the heavens.

O LORD , our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.

From the mouths of infants and sucklings Thou hast founded strength , Because of Thine adversaries , To still an enemy and a self- avenger.

Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies , that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.

For I see Thy heavens, a work of Thy fingers, Moon and stars that Thou didst establish.

When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars , which thou hast ordained;

What ` is ' man that Thou rememberest him? The son of man that Thou inspectest him?

What is man , that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man , that thou visitest him?

And causest him to lack a little of Godhead , And with honour and majesty compassest him .

For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels , and hast crowned him with glory and honour .

Thou dost cause him to rule Over the works of Thy hands , All Thou hast placed under his feet .

Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands ; thou hast put all things under his feet :

Sheep and oxen, all of them , And also beasts of the field ,

All sheep and oxen, yea , and the beasts of the field ;

Bird of the heavens , and fish of the sea, Passing through the paths of the seas !

The fowl of the air , and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas .

Jehovah, our Lord, How honourable Thy name in all the earth!

O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
