Psalms 8

1 To the chief Musician. Upon the Gittith. A Psalm of David. Jehovah our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy majesty above the heavens.

Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ sɛ wɔnto no “gittit” sankuo nne so. Dawid dwom. Ao Awurade, yɛn Awurade, wo din kɛseyɛ ada adi ewiase afanan nyinaa. Wode wʼanimuonyam atimtim ɔsoro nohoa,

2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou established praise because of thine adversaries, to still the enemy and the avenger.

mmɔfra ne nkɔkoaa mpo de wɔn ano kamfo wo, wʼatamfoɔ nti; na wode bɔ atamfoɔ ne weretɔfoɔ ano.

3 When I see thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and stars, which thou hast established;

Sɛ mehwɛ wo soro, wo nsateaa ano adwuma; ɔsrane ne nsoromma a wode obiara asi nʼafa a,

4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

onipa ne hwan a wokae no, na onipa ba nso ne hwan a wʼani ku ne ho?

5 Thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and splendour.

Wobɔɔ no ma ɔyɛɛ akumaa kakra sene abɔfoɔ na wode wʼanimuonyam ne anidie abɔ no abotire.

6 Thou hast made him to rule over the works of thy hands; thou hast put everything under his feet:

Woyɛɛ no sodifoɔ maa wo nsa ano adwuma wode nneɛma nyinaa ahyɛ ne nan ase:

7 Sheep and oxen, all of them, and also the beasts of the field;

nnwankuo ne nantwikuo nyinaa ne wiram mmoa nso,

8 The fowl of the heavens, and the fishes of the sea, [whatever] passeth through the paths of the seas.

ewiem nnomaa ne ɛpo mu mpataa, deɛ ɛnenam ɛpo mu akwan so nyinaa.

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

Ao, Awurade, yɛn Awurade, wo din yɛ kɛseɛ wɔ asase nyinaa so!
