Psalms 8

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

ギデトの琴にあはせて伶長にうたはしめたるダビデの歌 われらの主ヱホバよなんぢの名は地にあまねくして尊きかな その榮光を天におきたまへり

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

なんぢは嬰児ちのみごの口により力の基をおきて敵にそなへたまへり こは仇人とうらみを報るものを鎭静めんがためなり

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

我なんぢの指のわざなる天を観なんぢの設けたまへる月と星とをみるに

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

世人はいかなるものなればこれを聖念にとめたまふや 人の子はいかなるものなればこれを顧みたまふや

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

只すこしく人を神よりも卑つくりて祭と尊貴とをかうぶらせ

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

またこれに手のわざを治めしめ萬物をその足下におきたまへり

7 All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;

すべての羊うしまた野の獣

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

そらの鳥うみの魚もろもろの海路をかよふものをまで皆しかなせり

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

われらの主ヱホバよなんぢの名は地にあまねくして尊きかな
