Psalms 8

1 Unto the end. For the oil and wine presses. A Psalm of David. O Lord, our Lord, how admirable is your name throughout all the earth! For your magnificence is elevated 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 mouths of babes and infants, you have perfected praise, because of your enemies, so that you may destroy the enemy and the revenger.

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 behold your heavens, the works of your fingers: the moon and the stars, which you have founded.

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 reduced him to a little less than the Angels; you have crowned him with glory and honor,

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.

令他統治你手的造化，將一切放在他的腳下：

7 You have subjected all things under his feet, all sheep and oxen, and in addition: the beasts of the field,

所有的羊和牛，與野外的走獸，

8 the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, which pass 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 admirable is your name throughout all the earth!

上主，我們的主！你的名號在普世何其美妙！
