Psalms 8

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

Oh Gospod, naš Gospod, kako odlično je tvoje ime na vsej zemlji! Ki si svojo slavo postavil nad nebo.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

6 You make him ruler over the works of your hands. You have 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 cattle, yes, and the animals of the field,

Vse ovce in vole, da in poljske živali,

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

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

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

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