Psalmi 8

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

TO THE OVERSEER. ON THE GITTITH. A PSALM OF DAVID. YHWH, our Lord, How majestic [is] Your Name in all the earth, Who have set Your splendor on the heavens!

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

From the mouths of infants and sucklings You have founded strength, Because of Your adversaries, To still an enemy and a self-avenger.

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

For I see Your heavens, a work of Your fingers, [The] moon and stars that You established.

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

What [is] man that You remember him? The son of man that You inspect him?

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

You make him a little lower than the gods [[or God]], And surround him with glory and majesty.

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

You cause him to rule Over the works of Your hands, You have placed all under his feet.

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

Sheep and oxen, all of them, And also beasts of the field,

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

Bird of the heavens, and fish of the sea, Passing through the paths of the seas!

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

YHWH, our Lord, How majestic [is] Your Name in all the earth!
