1 (For the one directing. According to the gittit. Mizmor of Dovid)
2 Hashem Adoneinu,
how excellent is Shimecha in kol ha'aretz,
Who hast set Thy glory above HaShomayim.
3 Out of the mouth of olelim and infants
hast Thou established strength
because of Thine enemies,
that Thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
4 When I consider Thy heavens, the ma'asim of Thy fingers,
the yarei'ach and the kokhavim, which Thou hast ordained;
5 What is enosh (mankind), that Thou art mindful of him?
And the ben adam, that Thou visitest him?
6 For Thou hast made him a little lower than elohim,[a]
and hast crowned him with kavod and hadar.
7 Thou madest him to have dominion over the ma'asim of Thy hands;
Thou hast put all things under his feet:
8 All sheep and oxen,
yea, and the behemot sadeh;
9 The fowl of the air, and the dag (fish) of the yam,
and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.
10 Hashem Adoneinu,
