1לַמְנַצֵּ֥חַ עַֽל־הַגִּתִּ֗ית מִזְמ֥וֹר לְדָוִֽד׃
lamnatzeach al-haggittit mizmor ledavid
For the Leader; upon the Gittith. A Psalm of David.
2יְהוָ֤ה אֲדֹנֵ֗ינוּ מָֽה־אַדִּ֣יר שִׁ֭מְךָ בְּכָל־הָאָ֑רֶץ אֲשֶׁ֥ר תְּנָ֥ה ה֝וֹדְךָ֗ עַל־הַשָּׁמָֽיִם׃
ADONAI adonenu ma-addir shimkha bekhal-ha'aretz asher tena hodkha al-hashamayim
O LORD, our Lord, How glorious is Thy name in all the earth! Whose majesty is rehearsed above the heavens.
3מִפִּ֤י עֽוֹלְלִ֨ים ׀ וְֽיֹנְקִים֮ יִסַּ֪דְתָּ֫ עֹ֥ז לְמַ֥עַן צוֹרְרֶ֑יךָ לְהַשְׁבִּ֥ית א֝וֹיֵ֗ב וּמִתְנַקֵּֽם׃
mippi ollim veyonkim yissadta oz lema'an tzorrekha lehashbit oyev umitnakkem
Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast Thou founded strength, Because of Thine adversaries; That Thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
4כִּֽי־אֶרְאֶ֣ה שָׁ֭מֶיךָ מַעֲשֵׂ֣י אֶצְבְּעֹתֶ֑יךָ יָרֵ֥חַ וְ֝כוֹכָבִ֗ים אֲשֶׁ֣ר כּוֹנָֽנְתָּה׃
ki-er'e shamekha ma'ase etzbe'otekha yareach vekhokhavim asher konanta
When I behold Thy heavens, the work of Thy fingers, The moon and the stars, which Thou hast established;
5מָֽה־אֱנ֥וֹשׁ כִּֽי־תִזְכְּרֶ֑נּוּ וּבֶן־אָ֝דָ֗ם כִּ֣י תִפְקְדֶֽנּוּ׃
ma-enosh ki-tizkerennu uven-adam ki tifkedennu
What is man, that Thou art mindful of him? And the son of man, that Thou thinkest of him?
6וַתְּחַסְּרֵ֣הוּ מְּ֭עַט מֵאֱלֹהִ֑ים וְכָב֖וֹד וְהָדָ֣ר תְּעַטְּרֵֽהוּ׃
vattechasserehu me'at me'elohim vekhavod vehadar te'atterehu
Yet Thou hast made him but little lower than the angels, And hast crowned him with glory and honour.
7תַּ֭מְשִׁילֵהוּ בְּמַעֲשֵׂ֣י יָדֶ֑יךָ כֹּ֝ל שַׁ֣תָּה תַֽחַת־רַגְלָֽיו׃
tamshilehu bema'ase yadekha kol shatta tachat-raglav
Thou hast made him to have dominion over the works of Thy hands; Thou hast put all things under His feet:
8צֹנֶ֣ה וַאֲלָפִ֣ים כֻּלָּ֑ם וְ֝גַ֗ם בַּהֲמ֥וֹת שָׂדָֽי׃
tzone va'alafim kullam vegam bahamot saday
Sheep and oxen, all of them, Yea, and the beasts of the field;
9צִפּ֣וֹר שָׁ֭מַיִם וּדְגֵ֣י הַיָּ֑ם עֹ֝בֵ֗ר אָרְח֥וֹת יַמִּֽים׃
tzippor shamayim udege hayyam over archot yammim
The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea; Whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.
10יְהוָ֥ה אֲדֹנֵ֑ינוּ מָֽה־אַדִּ֥יר שִׁ֝מְךָ֗ בְּכָל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃
ADONAI adonenu ma-addir shimkha bekhal-ha'aretz
O LORD, our Lord, How glorious is Thy name in all the earth!
