Psalms 8

1 For the choirmaster. According to Gittith. A Psalm of David. O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth! You have set Your glory above the heavens.

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

2 From the mouths of children and infants You have ordained praise on account of Your adversaries, to silence the enemy and avenger.

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

3 When I behold Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have set in place—

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

4 what is man that You are mindful of him, or the son of man that You care for him?

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

5 You made him a little lower than the angels; You crowned him with glory and honor.

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

6 You made him ruler of the works of Your hands; You have placed everything under his feet:

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

7 all sheep and oxen, and even the beasts of the field,

ovce i svakolika goveda, i zvijeri poljske k tome,

8 the birds of the air and the fish of the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas.

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

9 O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth!

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