Salamo 8

1 Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira Al-hagitith. Salamo nataon’ i Davida. Jehovah, Tomponay ô, endrey ny voninahitry ny anaranao amin’ ny tany rehetra! nataonao eny amin’ ny lanitra ny voninahitrao.

Unto the end, for the presses: a psalm of David. O Lord our Lord, how admirable is thy name in the whole earth! For thy magnificence is elevated above the heavens.

2 Avy amin’ ny vavan’ ny ankizy madinika sy ny minono no nanorenanao hery noho ny mpandrafy Anao, mba hampanginanao ny fahavalo sy izay ta-hamaly ratsy.

Out of the mouth of infants and of sucklings thou hast perfected praise, because of thy enemies, that thou mayst destroy the enemy and the avenger.

3 Raha jereko ny lanitrao, izay asan’ ny rantsan-tananao, sy ny volana aman-kintana, izay noforoninao,

For I will behold thy heavens, the works of thy fingers: the moon and the stars which thou hast founded.

4 Inona moa ny olona, no ahatsiarovanao azy? Ary ny zanak’ olombelona, no amangianao azy?

What is man that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man that thou visitest hi?

5 Fa efa nataonao ambany kely noho Andriamanitra izy, ary efa nosatrohanao voninahitra sy fiandrianana.

Thou hast made him a little less than the angels, thou hast crowned him with glory and honour:

6 Efa nampanjakainao amin’ ny asan’ ny tananao izy; ny zavatra rehetra dia efa nataonao eo ambanin’ ny tongony,

And hast set him over the works of thy hands.

7 Dia ny ondry aman’ osy sy ny omby rehetra, ary ny bibidia koa,

Thou hast subjected all things under his feet, all sheep and oxen: moreover the beasts also of the fields.

8 Mbamin’ ny voro-manidina sy ny hazandrano any an-dranomasina, izay mandeha amin’ ny lalan-dranomasina.

The birds of the air, and the fishes of the sea, that pass through the paths of the sea.

9 Jehovah Tomponay ô, endrey ny voninahitry ny anaranao amin’ ny tany rehetra!

O Lord our Lord, how admirable is thy name in all the earth!
