詩篇 8

1 【人的尊威】 達味詩歌，交與槳官。調寄「加特」。 上主，我們的主！你的名號在普世何其美妼！你的尊榮在天上彰顯光耀。

For the choirmaster. According to Gittith. A Psalm of David. O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth! You have set Your glory above the heavens.

2 由赤子乳兒的口中，你取得完美的讚頌；為使恨你的人受辱，為使仇敵有口無用。

From the mouths of children and infants You have ordained praise on account of Your adversaries, to silence the enemy and avenger.

3 當我仰望你手指創造的穹蒼，和你在天上布置的星辰月亮，

When I behold Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have set in place—

4 世人算什麼，你竟對他懷念不忘？人子算什麼，你竟對他眷顧周詳？

what is man that You are mindful of him, or the son of man that You care for him?

5 竟使他稍微遜於天神，以尊貴光榮作他冠冕，

You made him a little lower than the angels; You crowned him with glory and honor.

6 令他統治你手的造化，將一切放在他的腳下：

You made him ruler of the works of Your hands; You have placed everything under his feet:

7 所有的羊和牛，與野外的走獸，

all sheep and oxen, and even the beasts of the field,

8 天空的飛鳥和海裏的魚類，及種種游泳於海道的水族。

the birds of the air and the fish of the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas.

9 上主，我們的主！你的名號在普世何其美妙！

O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth!
