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.

Dawid dwom. Ao Awurade, yɛn Awurade, wo din kɛseyɛ ada adi ewiase afanan nyinaa. Wode wʼanimuonyam atimtim ɔsoro nohoa,

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.

mmɔfra ne nkɔkoaa mpo de wɔn ano kamfo wo, wʼatamfoɔ nti; na wode bɔ atamfoɔ ne weretɔfoɔ ano.

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

Sɛ mehwɛ wo soro, wo nsateaa ano adwuma; ɔsrane ne nsoromma a wode obiara asi nʼafa a,

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

onipa ne hwan a wokae no, na onipa ba nso ne hwan a wʼani ku ne ho?

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

Wobɔɔ no ma ɔyɛɛ akumaa kakra sene abɔfoɔ na wode wʼanimuonyam ne anidie abɔ no abotire.

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

Woyɛɛ no sodifoɔ maa wo nsa ano adwuma wode nneɛma nyinaa ahyɛ ne nan ase:

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

nnwankuo ne nantwikuo nyinaa ne wiram mmoa nso,

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

ewiem nnomaa ne ɛpo mu mpataa, deɛ ɛnenam ɛpo mu akwan so nyinaa.

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

Ao, Awurade, yɛn Awurade, wo din yɛ kɛseɛ wɔ asase nyinaa so! Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ. Wɔto no sɛdeɛ wɔto “Ɔba no wuo”.
