Psalmi 8

1 Zborovođi. Po napjevu “Tijesci”. Psalam. Davidov. Jahve, Gospode naš, divno je ime tvoje po svoj zemlji, veličanstvom nebo natkriljuješ!

For the end, concerning the wine-presses, a Psalm of David. O Lord, our Lord, how wonderful is thy name in all the earth! for thy magnificence is exalted above the heavens.

2 U ustima djece i dojenčadi hvalu si spremio protiv neprijatelja, da postidiš mrzitelja, zlotvora.

Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou perfected praise, because of thine enemies; that thou mightest put down the enemy and avenger.

3 Gledam ti nebesa, djelo prstiju tvojih, mjesec i zvijezde što ih učvrsti -

For I will regard the heavens, the work of thy fingers; the moon and stars, which thou hast established.

4 pa što je čovjek da ga se spominješ, sin čovječji te ga pohodiš?

What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him?

5 Ti ga učini malo manjim od Boga, slavom i sjajem njega okruni.

Thou madest him a little less than angels, thou hast crowned him with glory and honour;

6 Vlast mu dade nad djelima ruku svojih, njemu pod noge sve podloži:

and thou hast set him over the works of thy hands: thou hast put all things under his feet:

7 ovce i svakolika goveda, i zvijeri poljske k tome,

sheep and all oxen, yea and the cattle of the field;

8 ptice nebeske i ribe morske, i što god prolazi stazama morskim.

the birds of the sky, and the fish of the sea, the [creatures] passing through the paths of the sea.

9 Jahve, Gospode naš, divno je ime tvoje po svoj zemlji!

O Lord our Lord, how wonderful is thy name in all the earth!
