< 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。
To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm of David. O LORD our Lord, how excellent [is] thy name in all the earth! who 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 mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thy enemies, that thou mightest still 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 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 visitest him?
5 你叫他比天使微小一點, 並賜他榮耀尊貴為冠冕。
For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and 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 made him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all [things] under his feet:
All sheep and oxen, yes, and the beasts of the field;
The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, [and whatever] passeth through the paths of the seas.
O LORD our Lord, how excellent [is] thy name in all the earth!
