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)
8 the birds in the sky,
    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)

² The Lord looks down from heaven^(C)
    on all mankind
to see if there are any who understand,^(D)
    any who seek God.^(E)
3 All have turned away,^(F) all have become corrupt;^(G)
    there is no one who does good,^(H)
    not even one.^(I)

⁴ Do all these evildoers know nothing?^(J)

They devour my people^(K) as though eating bread;
    they never call on the Lord.^(L)
5 But there they are, overwhelmed with dread,
    for God is present in the company of the righteous.
⁶ You evildoers frustrate the plans of the poor,
    but the Lord is their refuge.^(M)

⁷ Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion!^(N)
    When the Lord restores^(O) his people,
    let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad!
