詩篇 8

1 大衛的詩，交與伶長。用迦特樂器。 耶和華－我們的主啊， 你的名在全地何其美！ 你將你的榮耀彰顯於天。

For the music director. On the gittith. A psalm of David. Lord, our Lord, your magnificent reputation fills the earth! Your majesty is greater than the heavens above,

2 你因敵人的緣故， 從嬰孩和吃奶的口中， 建立了能力， 使仇敵和報仇的閉口無言。

and is sung by the voices of children and infants. Your strength counters your opponents, silencing the enemy and the avenger.

3 我觀看你指頭所造的天， 並你所陳設的月亮星宿，

When I contemplate the heavens that your hands made, the moon and stars that you placed there,

4 便說：人算甚麼，你竟顧念他！ 世人算甚麼，你竟眷顧他！

What are human beings that you should concern yourself with them? What are people that you should care for them?

5 你叫他比天使微小一點， 並賜他榮耀尊貴為冠冕。

You created them a little lower than God, crowning them with glory and majesty.

6 你派他管理你手所造的， 使萬物，就是一切的牛羊、 田野的獸、空中的鳥、海裏的魚， 凡經行海道的，都服在他的腳下。

You put them in charge of all that you made, giving them authority over everything:

7

the sheep, the cattle, and the wild animals,

8

the birds in the sky, and the fish in the sea—everything that swims in the ocean.

9 耶和華－我們的主啊， 你的名在全地何其美！

Lord, our Lord, your magnificent reputation fills the earth!
