Psalmi 8

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

For the Chief Musician; set to the Gittith. A Psalm of David. O LORD, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory upon 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 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 consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

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.

For thou hast made him but little lower than God, and crownest him with glory and honour.

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

Thou madest 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,

All sheep and oxen, 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 excellent is thy name in all the earth!
