Psalms 8

1 Unto the end, for the presses: a psalm of David. O Lord our Lord, how admirable is thy name in the whole earth! For thy magnificence is elevated 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 infants and of sucklings thou hast perfected praise, because of thy enemies, that thou mayst destroy the enemy and the avenger.

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

3 For I will behold thy heavens, the works of thy fingers: the moon and the stars which thou hast founded.

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

4 What is man that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man that thou visitest hi?

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

5 Thou hast made him a little less than the angels, thou hast crowned him with glory and honour:

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

6 And hast set him over the works of thy hands.

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

7 Thou hast subjected all things under his feet, all sheep and oxen: moreover the beasts also of the fields.

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

8 The birds of the air, and the fishes of the sea, that pass through the paths of the sea.

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

9 O Lord our Lord, how admirable is thy name in all the earth!

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