Psalmi 8

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

Unto the end, for the presses: a psalm of David. O Lord our Lord, how admirable is thy name in the whole earth! For thy magnificence is elevated above the heavens.

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

Out of the mouth of infants and of sucklings thou hast perfected praise, because of thy enemies, that thou mayst destroy the enemy and the avenger.

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

For I will behold thy heavens, the works of thy fingers: the moon and the stars which thou hast founded.

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 hi?

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

Thou hast made him a little less than the angels, thou hast crowned him with glory and honour:

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

And hast set him over the works of thy hands.

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

Thou hast subjected all things under his feet, all sheep and oxen: moreover the beasts also of the fields.

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

The birds of the air, and the fishes of the sea, that pass through the paths of the sea.

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

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