Psalms 8

1 For the Chief Musician; on an instrument of Gath. A Psalm by David. LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens!

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 From the lips of babes and infants you have established strength, because of your adversaries, that you might silence the enemy and the avenger.

なんぢは嬰兒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靜めんがためなり

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觀なんぢの設けたまへる月と星とをみるに

4 what is man, that you think of him? What is the son of man, that you care for 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 crowned him with glory and honour.

只すこしく人を神よりも卑つくりて榮と尊貴とをかうぶらせ

6 You make him ruler 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 cattle, yes, and the animals of the field,

すべての羊うしまた野の獣

8 the birds of the sky, the fish of the sea, and whatever 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 LORD, our Lord, how majestic 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
