Sòm 8

1 Pou chèf sanba yo. Se sou lè chante yo chante lè y'ap kraze rezen. Se yon sòm David. Seyè, Mèt nou, se toupatou sou latè yo rekonèt jan ou gen pouvwa! Pouvwa ou moute pi wo pase syèl la!

For the leader: A psalm of David, to be accompanied by a stringed instrument. Lord our God! How glorious in all the earth is your name! Your praise reaches as high as the heavens,

2 Ou fè timoun piti ak tibebe nan tete chante jan ou gen fòs, pou ou koresponn ak moun ki pa vle wè ou yo, pou ou fèmen bouch lènmi ou yo ak moun k'ap kenbe tèt avè ou yo.

from the mouths of children and infants. You have built a fortress against your enemies, to silence the foe and the rebel.

3 Lè m'ap gade syèl ou fè ak men ou lan, lalin ak zetwal ou mete ladan li,

When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set there,

4 m'ap mande: -Kisa lèzòm ye pou ou chonje yo konsa? Kisa yo ye menm pou ou pran ka yo konsa?

what are mortals, that you think of them, humans, that you visit them?

5 Ou fè yo yon ti kras pi piti pase ou, Bondye. Tankou yon kouwòn sou tèt yo, ou ba yo pouvwa ak respè.

Yet you made them little less than divine, crowned them with glory and majesty,

6 Ou mete yo pou yo donminen sou tou sa ou fè, ou mete tout bagay anba pye yo:

made them lord of the works of your hands, put all things under their feet –

7 Bèf kou kabrit, ansanm ak tout bèt nan bwa yo,

sheep and oxen, all of them; and the wild beasts also:

8 zwazo nan syèl, pwason nan dlo, ansanm ak tout lòt bèt k'ap viv nan lanmè.

birds of the air, and fish of the sea, and all that crosses the paths of the ocean.

9 Seyè, Mèt nou, se toupatou sou latè yo rekonèt jan ou gen pouvwa!

Lord our God! How glorious in all the earth is your name!
