Psalms 8

1 To him that excelleth on Gittith. A Psalme of Dauid. O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy Name in all the worlde! which hast set thy glory aboue the heauens.

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。

2 Out of the mouth of babes and suckelings hast thou ordeined strength, because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemie and the auenger.

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。

3 When I beholde thine heauens, euen the workes of thy fingers, the moone and the starres which thou hast ordeined,

我觀看你指頭所造的天， 並你所陳設的月亮星宿，

4 What is man, say I, that thou art mindefull of him? and the sonne of man, that thou visitest him?

便說：人算甚麼，你竟顧念他！ 世人算甚麼，你竟眷顧他！

5 For thou hast made him a little lower then God, and crowned him with glory and worship.

你叫他比天使微小一點， 並賜他榮耀尊貴為冠冕。

6 Thou hast made him to haue dominion in the workes of thine hands: thou hast put all things vnder his feete:

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。

7 All sheepe and oxen: yea, and the beastes of the fielde:

8 The foules of the ayre, and the fish of the sea, and that which passeth through the paths of the seas.

9 O Lord our Lord, howe excellent is thy Name in all the world!

耶和華－我們的主啊， 你的名在全地何其美！
