¹Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth, who has set your glory above the heavens!

¹(Til sangmesteren. Al-haggittit. En salme af David.) HERRE, vor Herre, hvor herligt er dit Navn på den vide Jord du, som bredte din Højhed ud over Himlen!

²From the lips of babes and infants you have established strength, because of your adversaries, that you might silence the enemy and the avenger.

²Af spædes og diendes Mund har du rejst dig et Værn for dine Modstanderes Skyld, for at bringe til Tavshed Fjende og Hævner.

³When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have ordained;

³Når jeg ser din Himmel, dine Fingres Værk, Månen og Stjernerne, som du skabte,

⁴what is man, that you think of him? What is the son of man, that you care for him?

⁴hvad er da et Menneske, at du kommer ham i Hu, et Menneskebarn, at du tager dig af ham?

⁵For you have made him a little lower than God, Hebrew: Elohim. The word Elohim, used here, usually means “God,” but can also mean “gods,” “princes,” or “angels.” and crowned him with glory and honor.

⁵Du gjorde ham lidet ringere end Gud. med Ære og Herlighed kroned du ham;

⁶You make him ruler over the works of your hands. You have put all things under his feet:

⁶du satte ham over dine Hænders Værk, alt lagde du under hans Fødder,

⁷All sheep and cattle, yes, and the animals of the field,

⁷Småkvæg og Okser til Hobe, ja, Markens vilde Dyr,

⁸The birds of the sky, the fish of the sea, and whatever passes through the paths of the seas.

⁸Himlens Fugle og Havets Fisk, alt, hvad der farer ad Havenes Stier.

⁹Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!

⁹HERRE, vor Herre, hvor herligt er dit Navn på den vide Jord!
