Psalms 8

1 For the Leader; upon the Gittith. A Psalm of David. O LORD, our Lord, how glorious is Thy name in all the earth! whose majesty is rehearsed above the heavens.

E IEHOVA, e ko makou Haku, Kai ka hemolele o kou inoa ma ka honua a pau! Ua hohola oe i kou nani maluna o na lani.

2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast Thou founded strength, because of Thine adversaries; that Thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.

Noloko ae o ka waha o na keiki hou a me na mea omo, I hoomakaukau ai oe i ka hoolea no kou poe enemi, I pilipu ia oe ka enemi, a me ka mea hoomaau.

3 When I behold Thy heavens, the work of Thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which Thou hast established;

I ko'u manao ana'ku i kou mau lani, ka hana o kou mau lima, I ka mahina a me na hoku au i hooponopono mai ai;

4 What is man, that Thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that Thou thinkest of him?

Heaha ke kanaka i manao mai ai oe ia ia? A o ke keiki a ke kanaka hoi i ike mai ai oe ia ia?

5 Yet Thou hast made him but little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.

Ua hana iho oe ia ia malalo iho o ka poe anela, Ua kau mai oe ia ia i ka nani a me ka mahalo i lei nona;

6 Thou hast made him to have dominion over the works of Thy hands; Thou hast put all things under His feet:

Ua hoolilo oe ia ia i haku no na mea a kou mau lima i hana'i; Nau no i waiho na mea a pau malalo ae o kona mau wawae:

7 Sheep and oxen, all of them, yea, and the beasts of the field;

O na hipa, a me na bipi a pau, Oia, me na holoholona o ke kula;

8 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea; whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.

O na manu o ka lewa, a me na ia o ke kai, A me na mea a pau e holo ana ma na ala o ka moana.

9 O LORD, our Lord, how glorious is Thy name in all the earth!

E IEHOVA, e ko makou Haku, Kai ka hemolele o kou inoa ma ka honua a pau!
