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: 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 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。

from the mouths of children and infants. You have built a fortress against your enemies, to silence the foe and the rebel.

3 我觀看你指頭所造的天， 並你所陳設的月亮星宿，

When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set 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 mortals, that you think of them, humans, that you visit them?

5 你叫他比天使微小一點， 並賜他榮耀尊貴為冠冕。

Yet you made them little less than divine, crowned 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。

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

7

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

8

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

9 耶和華－我們的主啊， 你的名在全地何其美！

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