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.

Ki he Takimuʻa ʻi he Kitita, ko e Saame ʻa Tevita. ‌ʻE Sihova ko homau ʻEiki, ʻoku lelei lahi ho huafa ʻi māmani kotoa pē! Kuo ke fokotuʻu ho nāunau ʻi ʻolunga ʻi he ngaahi langi.

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.

Kuo ke tuʻutuʻuni mei he ngutu ʻoe kau valevale mo e kei huhu ʻae mālohi, ko e meʻa ʻi ho ngaahi fili, koeʻuhi ke ke pule ke fakalongo pē ʻae fili mo e fakafāsifasi.

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

‌ʻO kau ka fakakaukau ki ho ngaahi langi, ko e ngāue ʻo ho louhiʻi nima, ko e māhina mo e ngaahi fetuʻu, ʻaia naʻa ke fokotuʻu;

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

Ko e hā ʻae tangata ʻoku ke tokanga ai kiate ia? Pe ko e foha ʻae tangata, ʻoku ke ʻaʻahi ai kiate ia?

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

He kuo ke ngaohi ia ke māʻulalo siʻi ʻi he ngaahi ʻāngelo, pea kuo ke tatāʻaki ia ʻae nāunau mo e ongoongolelei.

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

Naʻa ke fakanofo ia ke ne pule ki he ngaahi ngāue ʻa ho nima; kuo ke tuku ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ki hono lalo vaʻe:

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

‌ʻAe fanga sipi kotoa pē mo e fanga pulu, ʻio, mo e ngaahi manu ʻoe fonua;

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

Ko e manupuna ʻoe ʻatā, mo e ika ʻoe tahi, mo e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻalu ʻi he ngaahi ʻaluʻanga ʻi he tahi.

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

‌ʻE Sihova ko homau ʻEiki, ʻoku lelei lahi ho huafa ʻi māmani kotoa pē!
