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 Chief Musician; on an instrument of Gath. A Psalm by David.] YHWH, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth. You have put your glory upon 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 lips of children and infants you have established praise, because of your adversaries, that you might silence the enemy and the 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 consider 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 think of him, and 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，

For you have made him a little lower than the angels. You have 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：

and you made him ruler over the works of your hands. You have put all things under his feet:

7 所有的羊和牛，與野外的走獸，

all sheep and cattle, and also the wild animals,

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

9 上主，我們的主！你的名號在普世何其美妙！

YHWH, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth.
