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。

To the Overseer, 'On the Gittith.' A Psalm of David. Jehovah, our Lord, How honourable Thy name in all the earth! Who settest thine honour on 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 infants and sucklings Thou hast founded strength, Because of Thine adversaries, To still an enemy and a self-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，

For I see Thy heavens, a work of Thy fingers, Moon and stars that Thou didst establish.

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 Thou rememberest him? The son of man that Thou inspectest him?

5 竟使他稍微遜於天神，以尊貴光榮作他冠冕，

And causest him to lack a little of Godhead, And with honour and majesty compassest him.

6 令他統治你手的造化，將一切放在他的腳下：

Thou dost cause him to rule Over the works of Thy hands, All Thou hast placed under his feet.

7 所有的羊和牛，與野外的走獸，

Sheep and oxen, all of them, And also 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。

Bird of the heavens, and fish of the sea, Passing through the paths of the seas!

9 上主，我們的主！你的名號在普世何其美妙！

Jehovah, our Lord, How honourable Thy name in all the earth!
