For the Chief Musician; on an instrument of Gath. A Psalm by David.

1 Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!

You have set your glory above the heavens!

2 From the lips of babes and infants you have established strength,

because of your adversaries, that you might silence the enemy and the avenger.

3 When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers,

the moon and the stars, which you have ordained,

4 what is man, that you think of him?

What is the son of man, that you care for him?

5 For you have made him a little lower than the angels,

and crowned him with glory and honor.

6 You make him ruler over the works of your hands.

You have put all things under his feet:

7 All sheep and cattle,

yes, and the animals of the field,

8 the birds of the sky, the fish of the sea,

and whatever passes through the paths of the seas.

9 Yahweh, our Lord,

how majestic is your name in all the earth!

1 Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. Kititi. He himene na Rawiri. E Ihowa, e to matou Ariki, ano te nui o tou ingoa i te whenua katoa! Paku ana i a koe tou kororia ki runga ake i nga rangi!

2 U pu i a koe te kaha o te mangai o nga kohungahunga, o nga mea ngote u hei mea mo ou hoariri, hei pehi mo te hoariri, mo te kairapu utu.

3 Ka titiro ahau ki au rangi, ki te mahi a ou maihao, ki te marama, ki nga whetu, i hanga nei e koe;

4 He aha te tangata i maharatia ai e koe? te tama ranei a te tangata i tirohia ai ia e koe?

5 Nohinohi nei te wahi i whakaititia iho ai ia e koe i te Atua, karaunatia ana ia e koe ki te kororia, ki te honore.

6 Waiho iho e koe hei kingi mo nga mahi a ou ringa; kua waiho e koe nga mea katoa i raro i ona waewae;

7 Nga hipi katoa, nga puru, me nga kirehe katoa o te parae;

8 Te manu o te rangi, me te ika o te moana, e tere nei i nga ara o nga moana.

9 E Ihowa, e to matou Ariki, ano te nui o tou ingoa i te whenua katoa!
