³ I look at the heavens you made with your hands.
    I see the moon and the stars you created.
⁴ And I wonder, “Why are people so important to you?
    Why do you even think about them?
Why do you care so much about humans^[a]?
    Why do you even notice them?”

⁵ But you made them almost like gods
    and crowned them with glory and honor.
⁶ You put them in charge of everything you made.
    You put everything under their control.
⁷ People rule over the sheep and cattle and all the wild animals.
⁸ They rule over the birds in the sky
    and the fish that swim in the sea.
⁹ Lord our Lord, your name is the most wonderful name in all the earth!

¹⁵ But the Lord says,
“Can a woman forget her baby?
    Can she forget the child who came from her body?
Even if she can forget her children,
    I cannot forget you.
