Mazmur 8

1 Untuk pemimpin kor. Menurut lagu Gitit. Mazmur Daud. Ya TUHAN, Allah kami, kuasa-Mu termasyhur di seluruh bumi! Keagungan-Mu yang mengatasi langit

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 dinyanyikan oleh anak-anak dan bayi. Pemerintahan-Mu teguh tak tergoyahkan untuk membungkamkan musuh dan lawan.

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

3 Bila kupandang langit yang Kauciptakan, bulan dan bintang-bintang yang Kaupasang,

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

4 apakah manusia itu, sehingga Kauingat dia, siapakah dia, sehingga Kaupelihara?

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

5 Tetapi Kauangkat dia hampir setara dengan Allah, kaumahkotai dia dengan keagungan dan kehormatan.

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

6 Kauberi dia kuasa atas alam raya, seluruh ciptaan-Mu Kautundukkan kepadanya:

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

7 domba, sapi dan ternak semuanya, juga binatang di padang belantara;

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

8 burung-burung dan ikan-ikan, semua makhluk di dalam lautan.

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

9 Ya TUHAN, Tuhan kami, keagungan-Mu termasyhur di seluruh bumi!

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