Psalms 8

1 For the end, concerning the wine-presses, a Psalm of David. O Lord, our Lord, how wonderful is thy name in all the earth! for thy magnificence is exalted above the heavens.

Načelniku godbe pri postaji Gitajski, psalm Davidov. Gospod, kralj naš, kako veličastno je ime tvoje na vesoljni zemlji, kateri razodevaš nadnebeško lepoto svojo.

2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou perfected praise, because of thine enemies; that thou mightest put down the enemy and avenger.

Iz ust otrok in dojencev si ustanovil si utrjeno hvalo, zavoljo sovražnikov svojih, da krotiš neprijatelja in maščevalca.

3 For I will regard the heavens, the work of thy fingers; the moon and stars, which thou hast established.

Ko ogledujem nebesa tvoja, prstov tvojih delo, mesec in zvezde, ki si jih napravil;

4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him?

Kaj je človek, da se ga spominjaš, ali sin človekov, da ga obiskuješ!

5 Thou madest him a little less than angels, thou hast crowned him with glory and honour;

Malo si ga sicer postavil pod angele, a venčal si ga sè slavo in veličastvom.

6 and thou hast set him over the works of thy hands: thou hast put all things under his feet:

Postavil si ga čez dela svojih rók; vse si položil pod noge njegove:

7 sheep and all oxen, yea and the cattle of the field;

Drobnico in goveda, kolikor jih je, in tudi poljske živali;

8 the birds of the sky, and the fish of the sea, the [creatures] passing through the paths of the sea.

Tice pod nebom in ribe v morji; karkoli se izprehaja po morskih stezah.

9 O Lord our Lord, how wonderful is thy name in all the earth!

Gospod, kralj naš, kako veličastno je ime tvoje na vesoljni zemlji!
