Psalms 8

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

【人的尊威】 達味詩歌，交與槳官。調寄「加特」。 上主，我們的主！你的名號在普世何其美妼！你的尊榮在天上彰顯光耀。

2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings have you perfected praise, because of your enemies; that you might put down the enemy and avenger.

由赤子乳兒的口中，你取得完美的讚頌；為使恨你的人受辱，為使仇敵有口無用。

3 For I will regard the heavens, the work of your fingers; the moon and stars, which you have established.

當我仰望你手指創造的穹蒼，和你在天上布置的星辰月亮，

4 What is man, that you are mindful of him? or the son of man, that you visit him?

世人算什麼，你竟對他懷念不忘？人子算什麼，你竟對他眷顧周詳？

5 You made him a little less than angels, you have crowned him with glory and honour;

竟使他稍微遜於天神，以尊貴光榮作他冠冕，

6 and you have set him over the works of your hands: you have put all things under his feet:

令他統治你手的造化，將一切放在他的腳下：

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

所有的羊和牛，與野外的走獸，

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

天空的飛鳥和海裏的魚類，及種種游泳於海道的水族。

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

上主，我們的主！你的名號在普世何其美妙！
