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. On "the Gittith." A Melody of David. O Yahweh, our Lord! How majestic is thy Name, in all the earth, Who hast set thy splendour upon the heavens.

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

Out of the mouth of children and sucklings, hast thou laid a foundation of strength, —because of thine adversaries, to make foe and avenger be still.

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

When I view thy heavens, the work, of thy fingers, moon and stars, which thou hast established,

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

What was weak man, that thou shouldst make mention of him? or the son of the earthborn, that thou shouldst set him in charge?

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

That thou shouldst make him little less than messengers of God, with glory and honour, shouldst crown him?

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

Shouldst give him dominion over the works of thy hands, —All things, shouldst have put under his feet:

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

Sheep and oxen, all of them, —yea even the beasts of the field;

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

The bird of the heavens, and the fishes of the sea, — the passer-by on the paths of the seas?

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

O Yahweh, our Lord! How majestic is thy Name, in all the earth.
