Psalmi 8

1 Zborovođi. Po napjevu “Tijesci”. Psalam. Davidov. Jahve, Gospode naš, divno je ime tvoje po svoj zemlji, veličanstvom nebo natkriljuješ!

O LORD, our Lord, how excellent is your name in all the earth! who have set your glory above the heavens.

2 U ustima djece i dojenčadi hvalu si spremio protiv neprijatelja, da postidiš mrzitelja, zlotvora.

Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings have you ordained strength because of your enemies, that you might still the enemy and the avenger.

3 Gledam ti nebesa, djelo prstiju tvojih, mjesec i zvijezde što ih učvrsti -

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

4 pa što je čovjek da ga se spominješ, sin čovječji te ga pohodiš?

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

5 Ti ga učini malo manjim od Boga, slavom i sjajem njega okruni.

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

6 Vlast mu dade nad djelima ruku svojih, njemu pod noge sve podloži:

You made him to have dominion over the works of your hands; you have put all things under his feet:

7 ovce i svakolika goveda, i zvijeri poljske k tome,

All sheep and oxen, yes, and the beasts of the field;

8 ptice nebeske i ribe morske, i što god prolazi stazama morskim.

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

9 Jahve, Gospode naš, divno je ime tvoje po svoj zemlji!

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