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 your name in all the earth! for your 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 have you perfected praise, because of your enemies; that you might 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 your fingers; the moon and stars, which you have established.

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

What is man, that you are mindful of him? or the son of man, that you visit him?

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

You made him a little less than angels, you have crowned him with glory and honour;

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

and you have set him over the works of your hands: you have put all things under his feet:

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

sheep and all oxen, yes 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 your name in all the earth!
