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.

Načelniku godbe pri postaji Gitajski, psalm Davidov. Gospod, kralj naš, kako veličastno je ime tvoje na vesoljni zemlji, kateri razodevaš nadnebeško lepoto svojo.

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

Iz ust otrok in dojencev si ustanovil si utrjeno hvalo, zavoljo sovražnikov svojih, da krotiš neprijatelja in maščevalca.

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

Ko ogledujem nebesa tvoja, prstov tvojih delo, mesec in zvezde, ki si jih napravil;

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

Kaj je človek, da se ga spominjaš, ali sin človekov, da ga obiskuješ!

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

Malo si ga sicer postavil pod angele, a venčal si ga sè slavo in veličastvom.

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

Postavil si ga čez dela svojih rók; vse si položil pod noge njegove:

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

Drobnico in goveda, kolikor jih je, in tudi poljske živali;

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

Tice pod nebom in ribe v morji; karkoli se izprehaja po morskih stezah.

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

Gospod, kralj naš, kako veličastno je ime tvoje na vesoljni zemlji!
