(For the one directing. According to the gittit. Mizmor of Dovid)
Hashem Adoneinu,
how excellent is Shimecha in kol ha'aretz,
Who hast set Thy glory above HaShomayim.Psa 110:1
Out of the mouth of olelim and infants
hast Thou established strength
because of Thine enemies,
that Thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.Mat 21:16
When I consider Thy heavens, the ma'asim of Thy fingers,
the yarei'ach and the kokhavim, which Thou hast ordained;
What is enosh (mankind), that Thou art mindful of him?
And the ben adam, that Thou visitest him?Job 7:17; Psa 144:3; Heb 2:6
For Thou hast made him a little lower than elohim,8:6 or Elohim, Gn 1:27
and hast crowned him with kavod and hadar.
Thou madest him to have dominion over the ma'asim of Thy hands;
Thou hast put all things under his feet:Gen 1:28; Gen 9:2; 1Co 15:27
All sheep and oxen,
yea, and the behemot sadeh;
The fowl of the air, and the dag (fish) of the yam,
and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.
Hashem Adoneinu,
how excellent is Shimecha in kol ha'aretz!
