From the mouths of little children and infants,
    you have built a fortress against your opponents
        to silence the enemy and the avenger.

When I look at your heavens,
    the creation of your fingers,
    the moon and the stars that you have set in place—
        what is a mortal that you remember him
            or the Son of Man that you take care of him?

Through the praise of children and infants
    you have established a stronghold(A) against your enemies,
    to silence the foe(B) and the avenger.

the moon and the stars,(E)
    which you have set in place,
what is mankind that you are mindful of them,
    human beings that you care for them?[a](F)
