Psalms 8

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

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 sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thy enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.

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 consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

我觀看你指頭所造的天， 並你所陳設的月亮星宿，

4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son 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 than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.

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 have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:

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

8 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatever passeth through the paths of the seas.

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

耶和華－我們的主啊， 你的名在全地何其美！
