Psalms 8

1 To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm of David. O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory 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 hast thou ordained strength because of thy enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.

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

3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

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

4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

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

5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.

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

6 Thou hast made him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:

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

7 All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;

Vse ovce in vole, da in poljske živali,

8 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatever passeth through the paths of the seas.

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

9 O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!

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