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.

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

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.

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

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

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 visit him?

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

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

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

6 and you have set him over the works of your hands.

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

7 You have subjected all things under his feet, all sheep and oxen, and in addition: 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, which pass through the paths of the sea.

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

9 O Lord, our Lord, how admirable is your name throughout all the earth!

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