Psalms 8

1 Yahweh, our Lord, people all over the world know that you [MTY] are very great! Your glory reaches up higher than the heavens!

Zborovođi. Po napjevu “Tijesci”. Psalam. Davidov. Jahve, Gospode naš, divno je ime tvoje po svoj zemlji, veličanstvom nebo natkriljuješ!

2 You have taught little children and infants to praise you; they cause your enemies and those who try to (get revenge on/get rid of) you to be silent.

U ustima djece i dojenčadi hvalu si spremio protiv neprijatelja, da postidiš mrzitelja, zlotvora.

3 When I look up at the sky [at night], and see the things that you have made— the moon and the stars that you have set in place—

Gledam ti nebesa, djelo prstiju tvojih, mjesec i zvijezde što ih učvrsti -

4 it is amazing [to me] that [RHQ] you think about people, that you are concerned about [us] humans!

pa što je čovjek da ga se spominješ, sin čovječji te ga pohodiš?

5 You made the angels in heaven to be only a little more important than we are; you caused us to be like kings [MET] and you gave us splendor and honor [DOU]!

Ti ga učini malo manjim od Boga, slavom i sjajem njega okruni.

6 You put us in charge of everything that you made; you gave us authority over all things—

Vlast mu dade nad djelima ruku svojih, njemu pod noge sve podloži:

7 the sheep and the cattle, and even the wild animals,

ovce i svakolika goveda, i zvijeri poljske k tome,

8 the birds, the fish, and everything [else] that swims in the seas.

ptice nebeske i ribe morske, i što god prolazi stazama morskim.

9 Yahweh, our Lord, people all over the world know that you [MTY] are very great!

Jahve, Gospode naš, divno je ime tvoje po svoj zemlji!
