לְשַׁבָּחָא עַל כִּנוֹרָא דְאַיְתֵי מִגַת תּוּשְׁבַּחְתָּא לְדָוִד:
For praise, on the lyre that he brought from Gath. A hymn of David.
יְיָ אֱלָהָא רִבּוֹנָנָא כְּמָא תְלִיל שְׁמָךְ וּמְשַׁבַּח בְּכוֹלָא אַרְעָא דִיהַבְתָּא זִוָךְ עֵיל מִן שְׁמַיָא:
O God²⁵ our master, how lofty is your name and praiseworthy in all the earth, you who have placed your splendor above the heavens.
footnotes: ²⁵ LORD
מִפּוּם עוּלֵמַיָא וְיוֹנְקַיָא אִשְׁתֵּסְתָּא עוֹשָׁנָא מִן בִּגְלַל מְעִיקָיִךְ לְבַטָלָא בְּעֵיל דְבָבָא וְגָזוֹמָא:
From the mouth of children and infants you have established strength because of your oppressors, to bring to naught the enemy and the violent man.
מְטוּל דְאֶחְמֵי שְׁמָיִךְ עוֹבָדִי אֶצְבְּעָתָךְ סִיהֲרָא וְכֹכְבַיָא דִי אַתְקֵינְתָּא:
Because I see your heavens, the works of your fingers, the moon and the stars that you have fixed in place,
מַה בַּר נָשָׁא מִטוּל תִּדְכַּר עוֹבָדוֹי וּבַר נָשָׁא מְטוּל תִּסְעַר עֲלוֹי:
What is a son of man, because you will remember his deeds, and a son of man, because you will punish him?
וְחִסַרְתָּא יָתֵיהּ קַלִיל מִמַלְאֲכַיָא וְאַיְקָרָא וְשִׁבְהוֹרָא תֵכְלְלִנֵיהּ:
And you have made him a little less than the angels, and you will crown him with glory and brightness.
אַשְׁלַטְתֵּיהּ בְּעוֹבָדֵי יְדָךְ כּוֹלָא שַׁוִיתָא תְחוֹת רִגְלוֹי:
You made him ruler over the works of your hands; all things you have placed under his feet.
עָאן וְתוֹרֵי כוּלְהוֹן וּלְחוֹד בְּעִירֵי חַקְלָא:
Sheep and oxen, all of them, and also the beasts of the field.
צִפְּרֵי שְׁמַיָא וְנוּנֵי יַמָא וְלִוְיָתָן דְחָלִיף אִסְרָטֵי יַמָא:
The birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, and Leviathan who passes along²⁶ the paths of the sea.
