< Psalmi 8 >
1 Zborovođi. Po napjevu “Tijesci”. Psalam. Davidov. Jahve, Gospode naš, divno je ime tvoje po svoj zemlji, veličanstvom nebo natkriljuješ!
To the chief Musician. Upon the Gittith. A Psalm of David. Jehovah our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy majesty 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 established praise because of thine adversaries, to still the enemy and the avenger.
3 Gledam ti nebesa, djelo prstiju tvojih, mjesec i zvijezde što ih učvrsti -
When I see thy 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? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
5 Ti ga učini malo manjim od Boga, slavom i sjajem njega okruni.
Thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and splendour.
6 Vlast mu dade nad djelima ruku svojih, njemu pod noge sve podloži:
Thou hast made him to rule over the works of thy hands; thou hast put everything under his feet:
7 ovce i svakolika goveda, i zvijeri poljske k tome,
Sheep and oxen, all of them, and also the beasts of the field;
8 ptice nebeske i ribe morske, i što god prolazi stazama morskim.
The fowl of the heavens, and the fishes of the sea, [whatever] passeth through the paths of the seas.
9 Jahve, Gospode naš, divno je ime tvoje po svoj zemlji!
Jehovah our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
