Psalms 8

1 To the chief Musician. Upon the Gittith. A Psalm of David. Jehovah our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy majesty above the heavens.

E IEHOVA, e ko makou Haku, Kai ka hemolele o kou inoa ma ka honua a pau! Ua hohola oe i kou nani maluna o na lani.

2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou established praise because of thine adversaries, to still the enemy and the avenger.

Noloko ae o ka waha o na keiki hou a me na mea omo, I hoomakaukau ai oe i ka hoolea no kou poe enemi, I pilipu ia oe ka enemi, a me ka mea hoomaau.

3 When I see thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and stars, which thou hast established;

I ko'u manao ana'ku i kou mau lani, ka hana o kou mau lima, I ka mahina a me na hoku au i hooponopono mai ai;

4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

Heaha ke kanaka i manao mai ai oe ia ia? A o ke keiki a ke kanaka hoi i ike mai ai oe ia ia?

5 Thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and splendour.

Ua hana iho oe ia ia malalo iho o ka poe anela, Ua kau mai oe ia ia i ka nani a me ka mahalo i lei nona;

6 Thou hast made him to rule over the works of thy hands; thou hast put everything under his feet:

Ua hoolilo oe ia ia i haku no na mea a kou mau lima i hana'i; Nau no i waiho na mea a pau malalo ae o kona mau wawae:

7 Sheep and oxen, all of them, and also the beasts of the field;

O na hipa, a me na bipi a pau, Oia, me na holoholona o ke kula;

8 The fowl of the heavens, and the fishes of the sea, [whatever] passeth through the paths of the seas.

O na manu o ka lewa, a me na ia o ke kai, A me na mea a pau e holo ana ma na ala o ka moana.

9 Jehovah our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!

E IEHOVA, e ko makou Haku, Kai ka hemolele o kou inoa ma ka honua a pau!
