Psalms 8

1 Unto the end, for the presses: a psalm of David. O Lord our Lord, how admirable is thy name in the whole earth! For thy magnificence is elevated above the heavens.

【人的尊威】 達味詩歌，交與槳官。調寄「加特」。 上主，我們的主！你的名號在普世何其美妼！你的尊榮在天上彰顯光耀。

2 Out of the mouth of infants and of sucklings thou hast perfected praise, because of thy enemies, that thou mayst destroy the enemy and the avenger.

由赤子乳兒的口中，你取得完美的讚頌；為使恨你的人受辱，為使仇敵有口無用。

3 For I will behold thy heavens, the works of thy fingers: the moon and the stars which thou hast founded.

當我仰望你手指創造的穹蒼，和你在天上布置的星辰月亮，

4 What is man that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man that thou visitest hi?

世人算什麼，你竟對他懷念不忘？人子算什麼，你竟對他眷顧周詳？

5 Thou hast made him a little less than the angels, thou hast crowned him with glory and honour:

竟使他稍微遜於天神，以尊貴光榮作他冠冕，

6 And hast set him over the works of thy hands.

令他統治你手的造化，將一切放在他的腳下：

7 Thou hast subjected all things under his feet, all sheep and oxen: moreover the beasts also of the fields.

所有的羊和牛，與野外的走獸，

8 The birds of the air, and the fishes of the sea, that pass through the paths of the sea.

天空的飛鳥和海裏的魚類，及種種游泳於海道的水族。

9 O Lord our Lord, how admirable is thy name in all the earth!

上主，我們的主！你的名號在普世何其美妙！
