詩篇 8

1 大衛的詩，交與伶長。用迦特樂器。 耶和華－我們的主啊， 你的名在全地何其美！ 你將你的榮耀彰顯於天。

O Jehovah, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth, who has set thy glory upon the heavens!

2 你因敵人的緣故， 從嬰孩和吃奶的口中， 建立了能力， 使仇敵和報仇的閉口無言。

Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou have perfected praise, because of thine adversaries, that thou might still the enemy and the avenger.

3 我觀看你指頭所造的天， 並你所陳設的月亮星宿，

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

4 便說：人算甚麼，你竟顧念他！ 世人算甚麼，你竟眷顧他！

what is man that thou remember him? And the son of man that thou succor him?

5 你叫他比天使微小一點， 並賜他榮耀尊貴為冠冕。

For thou have made him but little lower than agents, and crowned him with glory and honor.

6 你派他管理你手所造的， 使萬物，就是一切的牛羊、 田野的獸、空中的鳥、海裏的魚， 凡經行海道的，都服在他的腳下。

Thou make him to have dominion over the works of thy hands. Thou have put all things under his feet.

7

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

8

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

9 耶和華－我們的主啊， 你的名在全地何其美！

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