Die Herrlichkeit Gottes und die Größe des Menschen
1Ein Psalm Davids, vorzusingen, auf der Gittit.2HERR, unser Herrscher, wie herrlich ist dein Name in allen Landen, der du zeigst deine Hoheit am Himmel! (2Mo 3,13)3Aus dem Munde der jungen Kinder und Säuglinge / hast du eine Macht zugerichtet um deiner Feinde willen, dass du vertilgest den Feind und den Rachgierigen. (Mt 21,16)4Wenn ich sehe die Himmel, deiner Finger Werk, den Mond und die Sterne, die du bereitet hast:5was ist der Mensch, dass du seiner gedenkst, und des Menschen Kind, dass du dich seiner annimmst? (Hebr 2,6)6Du hast ihn wenig niedriger gemacht als Gott, mit Ehre und Herrlichkeit hast du ihn gekrönt. (1Mo 1,27)7Du hast ihn zum Herrn gemacht über deiner Hände Werk, alles hast du unter seine Füße getan: (1Kor 15,27)8Schafe und Rinder allzumal, dazu auch die wilden Tiere,9die Vögel unter dem Himmel und die Fische im Meer und alles, was die Meere durchzieht.10HERR, unser Herrscher, wie herrlich ist dein Name in allen Landen!
For the director of music. According to gittith. A psalm of David.
1LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in the whole earth! You have set your glory in the heavens.2You have made sure that children and infants praise you. Their praise is a wall that stops the talk of your enemies.3I think about the heavens. I think about what your fingers have created. I think about the moon and stars that you have set in place.4What are human beings that you think about them? What is a son of man that you take care of him?5You have made them a little lower than the angels. You placed on them a crown of glory and honour.6You made human beings rule over everything your hands created. You put everything under their control.7They rule over all flocks and herds and over the wild animals.8They rule over the birds in the sky and over the fish in the ocean. They rule over everything that swims in the oceans.9LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in the whole earth!
To the choirmaster: according to The Gittith. A Psalm of David.
1O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens.[1] (2Mo 34,5; Ps 113,4; Ps 148,13; Jes 12,4)2Out of the mouth of babies and infants, you have established strength because of your foes, to still the enemy and the avenger. (Ps 44,16; Jer 16,19; Mt 11,25; Mt 21,16; 1Kor 1,27)3When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, (1Mo 1,16; 2Mo 8,19; 2Mo 31,18; Ps 111,2)4what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him? (1Mo 8,1; 1Mo 21,1; 1Mo 50,24; Hi 7,17; Hi 25,6; Ps 65,9; Ps 80,17; Ps 144,3; Hebr 2,6)5Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings[2] and crowned him with glory and honor. (1Mo 1,26; Ps 21,5)6You have given him dominion over the works of your hands; you have put all things under his feet, (1Mo 1,26; 1Mo 1,28; Mt 28,18; 1Kor 15,27)7all sheep and oxen, and also the beasts of the field,8the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea, whatever passes along the paths of the seas.9O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
