Psalms 8

1 To him that excelleth on Gittith. A Psalme of Dauid. O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy Name in all the worlde! which hast set thy glory aboue the heauens.

Oh Gospod, naš Gospod, kako odlično je tvoje ime na vsej zemlji! Ki si svojo slavo postavil nad nebo.

2 Out of the mouth of babes and suckelings hast thou ordeined strength, because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemie and the auenger.

Iz ust otročičev in dojenčkov si zaradi svojih sovražnikov odredil moč, da bi lahko utišal sovražnika in maščevalca.

3 When I beholde thine heauens, euen the workes of thy fingers, the moone and the starres which thou hast ordeined,

Ko opazujem tvoje nebo, delo tvojih prstov, luno in zvezde, ki si jih odredil;

4 What is man, say I, that thou art mindefull of him? and the sonne of man, that thou visitest him?

kaj je človek, da misliš nanj? In človeški sin, da ga obiskuješ?

5 For thou hast made him a little lower then God, and crowned him with glory and worship.

Kajti naredil si ga malo nižjega kot angele in ga okronal s slavo in častjo.

6 Thou hast made him to haue dominion in the workes of thine hands: thou hast put all things vnder his feete:

Naredil si, da ima gospostvo nad deli tvojih rok; vse stvari si položil pod njegova stopala.

7 All sheepe and oxen: yea, and the beastes of the fielde:

Vse ovce in vole, da in poljske živali,

8 The foules of the ayre, and the fish of the sea, and that which passeth through the paths of the seas.

zračno perjad in ribe morja in karkoli se giblje skozi morske steze.

9 O Lord our Lord, howe excellent is thy Name in all the world!

Oh Gospod, naš Gospod, kako odlično je tvoje ime na vsej zemlji!
