La gloria de Dios y la honra del hombre
Al músico principal. Sobre Gitit. Salmo de David.
8 Señor y Dios nuestro,
¡cuán glorioso es tu nombre en toda la tierra!
¡Has puesto tu gloria sobre los cielos!
2 Las alabanzas de los niños de pecho(A)
son tu mejor defensa contra tus enemigos;
ellas silencian a tus vengativos adversarios.
3 Cuando contemplo el cielo, obra de tus dedos,
y la luna y las estrellas que has creado,
4 me pregunto:
¿Qué es el ser humano, para que en él pienses?
¿Qué es la humanidad, para que la tomes en cuenta?(B)
5 Hiciste al hombre poco menor que un dios,
y lo colmaste de gloria y de honra.
6 ¡Lo has hecho señor de las obras de tus manos!
¡todo lo has puesto debajo de sus pies!(C)
7 ¡Todas las ovejas y todos los toros!
¡Todos los animales del bosque!
8 ¡Las aves en el cielo y los peces en el mar!
¡Todo lo que surca las profundidades del mar!
9 Señor y Dios nuestro,
¡cuán glorioso es tu nombre en toda la tierra!

For the director of music. According to gittith.[b] A psalm of David.
1 Lord, our Lord,
how majestic is your name(A) in all the earth!
You have set your glory(B)
in the heavens.(C)
2 Through the praise of children and infants
you have established a stronghold(D) against your enemies,
to silence the foe(E) and the avenger.
3 When I consider your heavens,(F)
the work of your fingers,(G)
the moon and the stars,(H)
which you have set in place,
4 what is mankind that you are mindful of them,
human beings that you care for them?[c](I)
5 You have made them[d] a little lower than the angels[e](J)
and crowned them[f] with glory and honor.(K)
6 You made them rulers(L) over the works of your hands;(M)
you put everything under their[g] feet:(N)
7 all flocks and herds,(O)
and the animals of the wild,(P)

and the fish in the sea,(Q)
all that swim the paths of the seas.
9 Lord, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!(R)

8 O Lord, our Lord,
How (A)excellent is Your name in all the earth,
Who have (B)set Your glory above the heavens!

That You may silence (D)the enemy and the avenger.
3 When I (E)consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,
The moon and the stars, which You have ordained,
4 (F)What is man that You are mindful of him,
And the son of man that You (G)visit[c] him?
5 For You have made him a little lower than [d]the angels,
And You have crowned him with glory and honor.
6 (H)You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands;
(I)You have put all things under his feet,
7 All sheep and oxen—
Even the beasts of the field,

And the fish of the sea
That pass through the paths of the seas.
