Psalms 8

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

【人的尊威】 達味詩歌，交與槳官。調寄「加特」。 上主，我們的主！你的名號在普世何其美妼！你的尊榮在天上彰顯光耀。

2 Out of the mouth of babes and infants have you ordained strength because of your enemies, that you might still the enemy and the avenger.

由赤子乳兒的口中，你取得完美的讚頌；為使恨你的人受辱，為使仇敵有口無用。

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

當我仰望你手指創造的穹蒼，和你在天上布置的星辰月亮，

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

世人算什麼，你竟對他懷念不忘？人子算什麼，你竟對他眷顧周詳？

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

竟使他稍微遜於天神，以尊貴光榮作他冠冕，

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

令他統治你手的造化，將一切放在他的腳下：

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

所有的羊和牛，與野外的走獸，

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

天空的飛鳥和海裏的魚類，及種種游泳於海道的水族。

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

上主，我們的主！你的名號在普世何其美妙！
