Psalms 8

1 For the music director. On the gittith. A psalm of David. Lord, our Lord, your magnificent reputation fills the earth! Your majesty is greater than the heavens above,

[Gittith rhotoeng dongah aka mawt ham David kah tingtoenglung] Kaimih kah boeipa YAHWEH tah, diklai pum ah na ming metlam a khuet tih, na mueithennah te vaan dongla na khueh mai.

2 and is sung by the voices of children and infants. Your strength counters your opponents, silencing the enemy and the avenger.

Nang aka daengdaeh kongah, thunkha neh phuloh te kangkuen sak ham camoe neh cahni ka lamkah sarhi na cuen sak.

3 When I contemplate the heavens that your hands made, the moon and stars that you placed there,

Vaan kah na kutngo hla neh aisi boeih na khueh te ka hmuh vaengah,

4 What are human beings that you should concern yourself with them? What are people that you should care for them?

Balae tih hlanghing te na ngaidam tih, hlang capa te na hip?

5 You created them a little lower than God, crowning them with glory and majesty.

Tedae anih te Pathen lakah vel na toem sak phoeiah ni, anih te thangpomnah neh, rhuepomnah na khuem sak.

6 You put them in charge of all that you made, giving them authority over everything:

Na kutngo te anih na taemrhai sak tih, a kho hmuiah,

7 the sheep, the cattle, and the wild animals,

tu neh saelhung boeih khaw, kohong kah rhamsa khaw,

8 the birds in the sky, and the fish in the sea—everything that swims in the ocean.

vaan kah vaa neh tuitunli kongtlang kah aka kat tuitunli nga khaw boeih na khueh pah.

9 Lord, our Lord, your magnificent reputation fills the earth!

Aw BOEIPA, kaimih kah boeipa tah na ming khaw diklai pum ah khuet tangkik.
