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 leader of the music; to be accompanied with the gittith. A psalm of David.” O Jehovah, our Lord! How excellent is thy name in all the earth! Thou hast set thy glory above the heavens.
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。
Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained praise, To put thine adversaries to shame, And to silence the enemy and avenger.
3 我觀看你指頭所造的天， 並你所陳設的月亮星宿，
When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, The moon and the stars which thou hast ordained:
4 便說：人算甚麼，你竟顧念他！ 世人算甚麼，你竟眷顧他！
What is man, that thou art mindful of him, And the son of man, that thou carest for him?
5 你叫他比天使微小一點， 並賜他榮耀尊貴為冠冕。
Yet thou hast made him little lower than God; Thou hast crowned him with glory and honor.
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。
Thou hast given him dominion over the works of thy hands; Thou hast put all things under his feet, —
All sheep and oxen, Yea, and the beasts of the forest;
The birds of the air, and the fishes of the sea, And whatever passeth through the paths of the deep.
9 耶和華－我們的主啊， 你的名在全地何其美！
O Jehovah, our Lord, How excellent is thy name in all the earth!
