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!

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 From the lips of babes and infants you have established strength, because of your adversaries, that you might silence 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 your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have 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 you think of him? What is the son of man, that you care for him?

便說：人算甚麼，你竟顧念他！ 世人算甚麼，你竟眷顧他！

5 For you have made him a little lower than the angels, and 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 You make him ruler over the works of your hands. You have 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 cattle, yes, and the animals of the field,

8 the birds of the sky, the fish of the sea, and whatever passes through the paths of the seas.

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

耶和華－我們的主啊， 你的名在全地何其美！
