You have made sure that children
    and infants praise you.
Their praise is a wall
    that stops the talk of your enemies.

I think about the heavens.
    I think about what your fingers have created.
I think about the moon and stars
    that you have set in place.
What are human beings that you think about them?
    What is a son of man that you take care of him?

Through the praise of children and infants
    you have established a stronghold(A) against your enemies,
    to silence the foe(B) and the avenger.
When I consider your heavens,(C)
    the work of your fingers,(D)
the moon and the stars,(E)
    which you have set in place,
what is mankind that you are mindful of them,
    human beings that you care for them?[a](F)
