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 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 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 built a fortress against your enemies, to silence the foe and the rebel.

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

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

5 竟使他稍微遜於天神，以尊貴光榮作他冠冕，

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

6 令他統治你手的造化，將一切放在他的腳下：

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

7 所有的羊和牛，與野外的走獸，

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

8 天空的飛鳥和海裏的魚類，及種種游泳於海道的水族。

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

9 上主，我們的主！你的名號在普世何其美妙！

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