Psalms 8

1 O LORD, our Lord, how excellent is your name in all the earth! who have set your glory above the heavens.

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 sucklings have you ordained strength because of your enemies, that you might still the enemy and the avenger.

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

3 When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have ordained;

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

4 What is man, that you are mindful of him? and the son of man, that you visit him?

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

5 For you have made him a little lower than the angels, and have crowned him with glory and honor.

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

6 You made him to have dominion over the works of your hands; you have put all things under his feet:

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

7 All sheep and oxen, yes, and the beasts of the field;

Vse ovce in vole, da in poljske živali,

8 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatever passes through the paths of the seas.

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

9 O LORD our Lord, how excellent is your name in all the earth!

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