a Gittith is probably a musical or liturgical term; here and in Psalms 81 and 84.
For the choirmaster. According to Gittith.a A Psalm of David.
O LORD, our Lord,
how majestic is Your name in all the earth!
You have set Your glory
above the heavens.
From the mouths of children and infants
b 8:2 Literally You have ordained strength; LXX You have prepared praise; cited in Matthew 21:16
You have ordained praiseb
on account of Your adversaries,
to silence the enemy and avenger.
When I behold Your heavens,
the work of Your fingers,
the moon and the stars,
which You have set in place—
what is man that You are mindful of him,
or the son of man that You care for him?
c 8:5 Or than God or than the heavenly beings; see also LXX.
You made him a little lower than the angels;c
You crowned him with glory and honor.
You made him ruler of the works of Your hands;
all sheep and oxen,
and even the beasts of the field,
the birds of the air and the fish of the sea,
all that swim the paths of the seas.
O LORD, our Lord,
how majestic is Your name in all the earth!
