Psalms 8

1 To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm of David. O LORD our Lord, how excellent [is] thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.

Načelniku godbe pri postaji Gitajski, psalm Davidov. Gospod, kralj naš, kako veličastno je ime tvoje na vesoljni zemlji, kateri razodevaš nadnebeško lepoto svojo.

2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.

Iz ust otrok in dojencev si ustanovil si utrjeno hvalo, zavoljo sovražnikov svojih, da krotiš neprijatelja in maščevalca.

3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

Ko ogledujem nebesa tvoja, prstov tvojih delo, mesec in zvezde, ki si jih napravil;

4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

Kaj je človek, da se ga spominjaš, ali sin človekov, da ga obiskuješ!

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

Malo si ga sicer postavil pod angele, a venčal si ga sè slavo in veličastvom.

6 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all [things] under his feet:

Postavil si ga čez dela svojih rók; vse si položil pod noge njegove:

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

Drobnico in goveda, kolikor jih je, in tudi poljske živali;

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

Tice pod nebom in ribe v morji; karkoli se izprehaja po morskih stezah.

9 O LORD our Lord, how excellent [is] thy name in all the earth!

Gospod, kralj naš, kako veličastno je ime tvoje na vesoljni zemlji!
