1Unto the end, for the presses: a psalm of David.
1In finem, pro torcularibus. Psalmus David.
2O Lord our Lord, how admirable is thy name in the whole earth! For thy magnificence is elevated above the heavens.
2[Domine, Dominus noster, quam admirabile est nomen tuum in universa terra ! quoniam elevata est magnificentia tua super cælos.
3Out of the mouth of infants and of sucklings thou hast perfected praise, because of thy enemies, that thou mayst destroy the enemy and the avenger.
3Ex ore infantium et lactentium perfecisti laudem propter inimicos tuos, ut destruas inimicum et ultorem.
4For I will behold thy heavens, the works of thy fingers: the moon and the stars which thou hast founded.
4Quoniam videbo cælos tuos, opera digitorum tuorum, lunam et stellas quæ tu fundasti.
5What is man that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man that thou visitest hi?
5Quid est homo, quod memor es ejus? aut filius hominis, quoniam visitas eum?
6Thou hast made him a little less than the angels, thou hast crowned him with glory and honour:
6Minuisti eum paulominus ab angelis; gloria et honore coronasti eum;
7And hast set him over the works of thy hands.
7et constituisti eum super opera manuum tuarum.
8Thou hast subjected all things under his feet, all sheep and oxen: moreover the beasts also of the fields.
8Omnia subjecisti sub pedibus ejus, oves et boves universas, insuper et pecora campi,
9The birds of the air, and the fishes of the sea, that pass through the paths of the sea.
9volucres cæli, et pisces maris qui perambulant semitas maris.
10O Lord our Lord, how admirable is thy name in all the earth!
10Domine, Dominus noster, quam admirabile est nomen tuum in universa terra !]
