For the leader; on the gittith.aFor the leader; on the gittith Meaning of Heb. uncertain. A psalm of David. O ETERNAL One, our Sovereign,
how majestic is Your name throughout the earth—
You who have covered the heavens with Your splendor!bYou who have covered the heavens with Your splendor Meaning of Heb. uncertain; or “You whose splendor is celebrated all over the heavens!” cMeaning of verse uncertain. From the mouths of infants and sucklings
You have founded strength on account of Your foes,
to put an end to enemy and avenger. When I behold Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,
the moon and stars that You set in place, what are human beings that You have been mindful of them,
mortals that You have taken note of them, that You have made them little less than divine,ddivine Or “the angels.”
and adorned them with glory and majesty? You have made them master over Your handiwork,
laying the world at their feet— sheep and oxen, all of them,
and wild beasts, too; the birds of the heavens, the fish of the sea,
whatever travels the paths of the seas. O ETERNAL One, our Sovereign, how majestic is Your name throughout the earth!
