Psalms 8

1 “To the chief musician upon Gittith, a psalm of David.” O Eternal One our Lord, how excellent is thy name on all the earth! thou who hast set thy majesty above the heavens.

Aw Bawipa, kaimih a Bawipa, khawmdek khan boeih awh na boeimangnaak be soeih mah hy! Na boeimangnaak ce khankhqik khanawh ta hyk ti.

2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou founded [thy] might, because of thy opponents, that thou mightest bring to silence the enemy and him that seeketh vengeance.

Qaalkhqi ingkaw lu ak lokhqi sit sak aham ingkaw na qaalkhqi awh, naasenkhqi ingkaw naacakhqi a hui awhkawng kyihcahnaak ce caksak hyk ti.

3 When I behold thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast established: —

Khan nakaw ak awm na kut sai pihla ingkaw aihchikhqi, amah a awmnaak hun boeih awh na taakkhqi ce kak poek awh,

4 What is the mortal, that thou rememberest him? and the son of man, that thou thinkest of him:

Thlanghqing ve ikawpna a awm aih awh, na qeetnaak khaak nawh, thlanghqing capa awm na kqip loet hy voei?

5 Yet thou hast made him but a little less than angels, and hast crowned him with honor and glory.

Anih ce khan khaw na ak awm anglakawh ak nem bet na sai nawh boeimang thangleeknaak ing sing hyk ti.

6 Thou hast given him dominion over the works of thy hands; every thing hast thou placed beneath his feet:

Na kut saikhqi boeih ukkung na ta nawh, a khawk kaiawh ik-oeihkhqi boeih ce taak pe hyk ti.

7 Flocks and herds altogether, and also the beasts of the field;

Tui a nga ingkaw kqawng nakaw qamsa boeih,

8 The birds of heaven, and the fishes of the sea, whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.

khawnghi nakaw chukphakhqi, tuih khui nakaw lum a nga boeih ingkaw tuicunli awhkaw ak cawlhtat boeih ce a khawk kaiawh taak pe hyk ti.

9 O Eternal One our Lord, how excellent is thy name on all the earth!

Aw Bawipa, kaimih a Bawipa, khawmdek pum awh nang ming qypawm soeih hy.
