תְהִלִּים 8

1 לַמְנַצֵּ֥חַ עַֽל־הַגִּתִּ֗ית מִזְמֹ֥ור לְדָוִֽד׃ יְהוָ֤ה אֲדֹנֵ֗ינוּ מָֽה־אַדִּ֣יר שִׁ֭מְךָ בְּכָל־הָאָ֑רֶץ אֲשֶׁ֥ר תְּנָ֥ה הֹ֝ודְךָ֗ עַל־הַשָּׁמָֽיִם׃

For the leader: A psalm of David, to be accompanied by a stringed instrument. Lord our God! How glorious in all the earth is your name! Your praise reaches as high as the heavens,

2 מִפִּ֤י עֹֽולְלִ֨ים ׀ וְֽיֹנְקִים֮ יִסַּ֪דְתָּ֫ עֹ֥ז לְמַ֥עַן צֹורְרֶ֑יךָ לְהַשְׁבִּ֥ית אֹ֝ויֵ֗ב וּמִתְנַקֵּֽם׃

from the mouths of children and infants. You have built a fortress against your enemies, to silence the foe and the rebel.

3 כִּֽי־אֶרְאֶ֣ה שָׁ֭מֶיךָ מַעֲשֵׂ֣י אֶצְבְּעֹתֶ֑יךָ יָרֵ֥חַ וְ֝כֹוכָבִ֗ים אֲשֶׁ֣ר כֹּונָֽנְתָּה׃

When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set there,

4 מָֽה־אֱנֹ֥ושׁ כִּֽי־תִזְכְּרֶ֑נּוּ וּבֶן־אָ֝דָ֗ם כִּ֣י תִפְקְדֶֽנּוּ׃

what are mortals, that you think of them, humans, that you visit them?

5 וַתְּחַסְּרֵ֣הוּ מְּ֭עַט מֵאֱלֹהִ֑ים וְכָבֹ֖וד וְהָדָ֣ר תְּעַטְּרֵֽהוּ׃

Yet you made them little less than divine, crowned them with glory and majesty,

6 תַּ֭מְשִׁילֵהוּ בְּמַעֲשֵׂ֣י יָדֶ֑יךָ כֹּ֝ל שַׁ֣תָּה תַֽחַת־רַגְלָֽיו׃

made them lord of the works of your hands, put all things under their feet –

7 צֹנֶ֣ה וַאֲלָפִ֣ים כֻּלָּ֑ם וְ֝גַ֗ם בַּהֲמֹ֥ות שָׂדָֽי׃

sheep and oxen, all of them; and the wild beasts also:

8 צִפֹּ֣ור שָׁ֭מַיִם וּדְגֵ֣י הַיָּ֑ם עֹ֝בֵ֗ר אָרְחֹ֥ות יַמִּֽים׃

birds of the air, and fish of the sea, and all that crosses the paths of the ocean.

9 יְהוָ֥ה אֲדֹנֵ֑ינוּ מָֽה־אַדִּ֥יר שִׁ֝מְךָ֗ בְּכָל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃

Lord our God! How glorious in all the earth is your name!
