اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 8

١ 1 لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ عَلَى «ٱلْجَتِّيَّةِ». مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ أَيُّهَا ٱلرَّبُّ سَيِّدُنَا، مَا أَمْجَدَ ٱسْمَكَ فِي كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ! حَيْثُ جَعَلْتَ جَلَالَكَ فَوْقَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ.

To the Chief Musician. On "the Gittith." A Melody of David. O Yahweh, our Lord! How majestic is thy Name, in all the earth, Who hast set thy splendour upon the heavens.

٢ 2 مِنْ أَفْوَاهِ ٱلْأَطْفَالِ وَٱلرُّضَّعِ أَسَّسْتَ حَمْدًا بِسَبَبِ أَضْدَادِكَ، لِتَسْكِيتِ عَدُوٍّ وَمُنْتَقِمٍ.

Out of the mouth of children and sucklings, hast thou laid a foundation of strength, —because of thine adversaries, to make foe and avenger be still.

٣ 3 إِذَا أَرَى سَمَاوَاتِكَ عَمَلَ أَصَابِعِكَ، ٱلْقَمَرَ وَٱلنُّجُومَ ٱلَّتِي كَوَّنْتَهَا،

When I view thy heavens, the work, of thy fingers, moon and stars, which thou hast established,

٤ 4 فَمَنْ هُوَ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ حَتَّى تَذْكُرَهُ؟ وَٱبْنُ آدَمَ حَتَّى تَفْتَقِدَهُ؟

What was weak man, that thou shouldst make mention of him? or the son of the earthborn, that thou shouldst set him in charge?

٥ 5 وَتَنْقُصَهُ قَلِيلًا عَنِ ٱلْمَلَائِكَةِ، وَبِمَجْدٍ وَبَهَاءٍ تُكَلِّلُهُ.

That thou shouldst make him little less than messengers of God, with glory and honour, shouldst crown him?

٦ 6 تُسَلِّطُهُ عَلَى أَعْمَالِ يَدَيْكَ. جَعَلْتَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ تَحْتَ قَدَمَيْهِ:

Shouldst give him dominion over the works of thy hands, —All things, shouldst have put under his feet:

٧ 7 ٱلْغَنَمَ وَٱلْبَقَرَ جَمِيعًا، وَبَهَائِمَ ٱلْبَرِّ أَيْضًا،

Sheep and oxen, all of them, —yea even the beasts of the field;

٨ 8 وَطُيُورَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، وَسَمَكَ ٱلْبَحْرِ ٱلسَّالِكَ فِي سُبُلِ ٱلْمِيَاهِ.

The bird of the heavens, and the fishes of the sea, — the passer-by on the paths of the seas?

٩ 9 أَيُّهَا ٱلرَّبُّ سَيِّدُنَا، مَا أَمْجَدَ ٱسْمَكَ فِي كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ!

O Yahweh, our Lord! How majestic is thy Name, in all the earth.
