Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens!
1Εἰς τὸ τέλος, ὑπὲρ τῶν ληνῶν· ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυΐδ.
2From the lips of babes and infants you have established strength, because of your adversaries, that you might silence the enemy and the avenger.
2ΚΥΡΙΕ ὁ Κύριος ἡμῶν, ὡς θαυμαστὸν τὸ ὄνομά σου ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ· ὅτι ἐπήρθη ἡ μεγαλοπρέπειά σου ὑπεράνω τῶν οὐρανῶν.
3When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have ordained,
3ἐκ στόματος νηπίων καὶ θηλαζόντων κατηρτίσω αἶνον ἕνεκα τῶν ἐχθρῶν σου τοῦ καταλῦσαι ἐχθρὸν καὶ ἐκδικητήν.
4what is man, that you think of him? What is the son of man, that you care for him?
4ὅτι ὄψομαι τοὺς οὐρανούς, ἔργα τῶν δακτύλων σου, σελήνην καὶ ἀστέρας, ἃ σὺ ἐθεμελίωσας·
5For you have made him a little lower than the angels, and crowned him with glory and honor.
5τί ἐστιν ἄνθρωπος, ὅτι μιμνῃ£σκῃ αὐτοῦ; ἢ υἱὸς ἀνθρώπου, ὅτι ἐπισκέπτῃ αὐτόν;
6You make him ruler over the works of your hands. You have put all things under his feet:
6ἠλάττωσας αὐτὸν βραχύ τι παρ᾿ ἀγγέλους, δόξῃ καὶ τιμῇ ἐστεφάνωσας αὐτόν,
7All sheep and cattle, yes, and the animals of the field,
7καὶ κατέστησας αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὰ ἔργα τῶν χειρῶν σου· πάντα ὑπέταξας ὑποκάτω τῶν ποδῶν αὐτοῦ,
8the birds of the sky, the fish of the sea, and whatever passes through the paths of the seas.
8πρόβατα, καὶ βόας ἁπάσας, ἔτι δὲ καὶ τὰ κτήνη τοῦ πεδίου,
9LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
9τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ τοὺς ἰχθύας τῆς θαλάσσης, τὰ διαπορευόμενα τρίβους θαλασσῶν.
