< 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,
大卫的诗,交与伶长。用迦特乐器。 耶和华—我们的主啊, 你的名在全地何其美! 你将你的荣耀彰显于天。
2 and is sung by the voices of children and infants. Your strength counters your opponents, silencing the enemy and the avenger.
你因敌人的缘故, 从婴孩和吃奶的口中, 建立了能力, 使仇敌和报仇的闭口无言。
3 When I contemplate the heavens that your hands made, the moon and stars that you placed there,
我观看你指头所造的天, 并你所陈设的月亮星宿,
4 What are human beings that you should concern yourself with them? What are people that you should care for them?
便说:人算什么,你竟顾念他! 世人算什么,你竟眷顾他!
5 You created them a little lower than God, crowning them with glory and majesty.
你叫他比天使微小一点, 并赐他荣耀尊贵为冠冕。
6 You put them in charge of all that you made, giving them authority over everything:
你派他管理你手所造的, 使万物,就是一切的牛羊、 田野的兽、空中的鸟、海里的鱼, 凡经行海道的,都服在他的脚下。
7 the sheep, the cattle, and the wild animals,
8 the birds in the sky, and the fish in the sea—everything that swims in the ocean.
9 Lord, our Lord, your magnificent reputation fills the earth!
耶和华—我们的主啊, 你的名在全地何其美!
