Psalms 8

1 For the Chief Musician; on an instrument of Gath. A Psalm by David. Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens!

Načelniku godbe pri postaji Gitajski, psalm Davidov. Gospod, kralj naš, kako veličastno je ime tvoje na vesoljni zemlji, kateri razodevaš nadnebeško lepoto svojo.

2 From the lips of babes and infants you have established strength, because of your adversaries, that you might silence the enemy and the avenger.

Iz ust otrok in dojencev si ustanovil si utrjeno hvalo, zavoljo sovražnikov svojih, da krotiš neprijatelja in maščevalca.

3 When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have ordained,

Ko ogledujem nebesa tvoja, prstov tvojih delo, mesec in zvezde, ki si jih napravil;

4 what is man, that you think of him? What is the son of man, that you care for him?

Kaj je človek, da se ga spominjaš, ali sin človekov, da ga obiskuješ!

5 For you have made him a little lower than the angels, and crowned him with glory and honor.

Malo si ga sicer postavil pod angele, a venčal si ga sè slavo in veličastvom.

6 You make him ruler over the works of your hands. You have put all things under his feet:

Postavil si ga čez dela svojih rók; vse si položil pod noge njegove:

7 All sheep and cattle, yes, and the animals of the field,

Drobnico in goveda, kolikor jih je, in tudi poljske živali;

8 the birds of the sky, the fish of the sea, and whatever passes through the paths of the seas.

Tice pod nebom in ribe v morji; karkoli se izprehaja po morskih stezah.

9 Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!

Gospod, kralj naš, kako veličastno je ime tvoje na vesoljni zemlji!
