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; on an instrument of Gath. A Psalm by David. LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens!

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

From the lips of babes and infants you have established strength, because of your adversaries, that you might silence the enemy and the avenger.

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

When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have ordained,

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

what is man, that you think of him? What is the son of man, that you care for him?

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

For you have made him a little lower than the angels, and crowned him with glory and honor.

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

You make him ruler over the works of your hands. You have put all things under his feet:

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

All sheep and cattle, yes, and the animals of the field,

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

the birds of the sky, the fish of the sea, and whatever passes through the paths of the seas.

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

LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
