Psalms 8

1 For the end, concerning the wine presses, a Psalm of David. O Lord, our Lord, how wonderful is your name in all the earth! for your magnificence is exalted above the heavens.

Zborovođi. Po napjevu “Tijesci”. Psalam. Davidov. Jahve, Gospode naš, divno je ime tvoje po svoj zemlji, veličanstvom nebo natkriljuješ!

2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings have you perfected praise, because of your enemies; that you might put down the enemy and avenger.

U ustima djece i dojenčadi hvalu si spremio protiv neprijatelja, da postidiš mrzitelja, zlotvora.

3 For I will regard the heavens, the work of your fingers; the moon and stars, which you have established.

Gledam ti nebesa, djelo prstiju tvojih, mjesec i zvijezde što ih učvrsti -

4 What is man, that you are mindful of him? or the son of man, that you visit him?

pa što je čovjek da ga se spominješ, sin čovječji te ga pohodiš?

5 You made him a little less than angels, you have crowned him with glory and honour;

Ti ga učini malo manjim od Boga, slavom i sjajem njega okruni.

6 and you have set him over the works of your hands: you have put all things under his feet:

Vlast mu dade nad djelima ruku svojih, njemu pod noge sve podloži:

7 sheep and all oxen, yes and the cattle of the field;

ovce i svakolika goveda, i zvijeri poljske k tome,

8 the birds of the sky, and the fish of the sea, the [creatures] passing through the paths of the sea.

ptice nebeske i ribe morske, i što god prolazi stazama morskim.

9 O Lord our Lord, how wonderful is your name in all the earth!

Jahve, Gospode naš, divno je ime tvoje po svoj zemlji!
