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.

Oh Gospod, naš Gospod, kako odlično je tvoje ime na vsej zemlji! Ki si svojo slavo postavil nad nebo.

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.

Iz ust otročičev in dojenčkov si zaradi svojih sovražnikov odredil moč, da bi lahko utišal sovražnika in maščevalca.

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

Ko opazujem tvoje nebo, delo tvojih prstov, luno in zvezde, ki si jih odredil;

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

kaj je človek, da misliš nanj? In človeški sin, da ga obiskuješ?

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

Kajti naredil si ga malo nižjega kot angele in ga okronal s slavo in častjo.

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

Naredil si, da ima gospostvo nad deli tvojih rok; vse stvari si položil pod njegova stopala.

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

Vse ovce in vole, da in poljske živali,

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

zračno perjad in ribe morja in karkoli se giblje skozi morske steze.

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

Oh Gospod, naš Gospod, kako odlično je tvoje ime na vsej zemlji!
