8 Our master Yahweh, your reputation all over the earth is magnificent.

Your splendour is displayed across the sky

2 for even infants and children to notice.[ref]

You have established strength because of your enemies—to put an end to the enemy and the avenger.

3 When I look up at the sky, I see your handiwork—

the moon and the stars that you placed there.

4 How come that you even notice humankind?[fn]

Why would you even pay attention to any descendant of ours?[ref]

5 You have made him a little lower than a title="מֵ,אֱלֹהִים (mē,ʼₑlohīm, R,Ncmpa)" href="../../ref/HebWrd/PSAc8v6w3.htm#Top" class="hebEl">God (or ‘gods’),

and poured splendour and majesty over him.[fn]

6 You’ve established him as ruler over your creation—

you’ve put him in charge of everything:[ref]

7 All the sheep and cows,

as well as the animals in the countryside,

8 the birds that fly and the fish in the sea—

everything the moves along the ocean currents.

9 Our master, Yahweh,

your magnificent reputation has spread around the whole world.
