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.

Dura buʼaa faarfattootaatiif. Faarfannaa Daawit kan Gitiitiidhaan faarfatamu. Yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa keenya, maqaan kee lafa hundatti akkam ulfina qabeessa! Ati ulfina kee samiiwwan irratti diriirsiteerta.

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.

Sababii diinota keetiitiif, amajaajii fi nama haaloo baafatu afaan qabachiisuuf jettee, afaan daaʼimmaniitii fi mucoolii harma hodhanii irraa galata qopheessiteerta.

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

Yommuu ani hojii quba keetii, samiiwwan kee, jiʼaa fi urjiiwwan ati hundeessitee ilaalutti,

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

akka ati isaaf yaadduuf namni maali? Akka isaaf dhimmituuf ilmi namaa maali?

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

Ati xinnoo ishee ofii keetii gad isa goote; ulfinaa fi kabajaan isa gonfite.

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

Hojii harka keetii irratti bulchaa isa goote; waan hundas miilla isaa jala galchite;

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

bushaayee fi loon hunda, bineensota bosonaas,

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

simbirroota samii irraa, qurxummii galaanaa, waan daandii galaanaatiin darbu hundas miilla isaa jala galchite.

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

Yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa keenya, maqaan kee lafa hundumaa irratti akkam ulfina qabeessa!
