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.

Ki he Takimuʻa ʻi he Kitita, ko e Saame ʻa Tevita. ‌ʻE Sihova ko homau ʻEiki, ʻoku lelei lahi ho huafa ʻi māmani kotoa pē! Kuo ke fokotuʻu ho nāunau ʻi ʻolunga ʻi he ngaahi langi.

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.

Kuo ke tuʻutuʻuni mei he ngutu ʻoe kau valevale mo e kei huhu ʻae mālohi, ko e meʻa ʻi ho ngaahi fili, koeʻuhi ke ke pule ke fakalongo pē ʻae fili mo e fakafāsifasi.

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

‌ʻO kau ka fakakaukau ki ho ngaahi langi, ko e ngāue ʻo ho louhiʻi nima, ko e māhina mo e ngaahi fetuʻu, ʻaia naʻa ke fokotuʻu;

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

Ko e hā ʻae tangata ʻoku ke tokanga ai kiate ia? Pe ko e foha ʻae tangata, ʻoku ke ʻaʻahi ai kiate ia?

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

He kuo ke ngaohi ia ke māʻulalo siʻi ʻi he ngaahi ʻāngelo, pea kuo ke tatāʻaki ia ʻae nāunau mo e ongoongolelei.

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

Naʻa ke fakanofo ia ke ne pule ki he ngaahi ngāue ʻa ho nima; kuo ke tuku ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ki hono lalo vaʻe:

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

‌ʻAe fanga sipi kotoa pē mo e fanga pulu, ʻio, mo e ngaahi manu ʻoe fonua;

8 the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, which pass through the paths of the sea.

Ko e manupuna ʻoe ʻatā, mo e ika ʻoe tahi, mo e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻalu ʻi he ngaahi ʻaluʻanga ʻi he tahi.

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

‌ʻE Sihova ko homau ʻEiki, ʻoku lelei lahi ho huafa ʻi māmani kotoa pē!
