Psalmi 8

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

For the Leader; upon the Gittith. A Psalm of David. O LORD, our Lord, how glorious is Thy name in all the earth! whose majesty is rehearsed 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 founded strength, because of Thine adversaries; that Thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.

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

When I behold Thy heavens, the work of Thy fingers, the moon and the 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 thinkest of him?

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

Yet Thou hast made him but little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.

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

Thou hast made him to have dominion 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 oxen, all of them, yea, and the beasts of the field;

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

The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea; whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.

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

O LORD, our Lord, how glorious is Thy name in all the earth!
