Psalms 8

1 TO THE OVERSEER. ON THE GITTITH. A PSALM OF DAVID. YHWH, our Lord, How majestic [is] Your Name in all the earth, Who have set Your splendor on the heavens!

Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ sɛ wɔnto no “gittit” sankuo nne so. Dawid dwom. Ao Awurade, yɛn Awurade, wo din kɛseyɛ ada adi ewiase afanan nyinaa. Wode wʼanimuonyam atimtim ɔsoro nohoa,

2 From the mouths of infants and sucklings You have founded strength, Because of Your adversaries, To still an enemy and a self-avenger.

mmɔfra ne nkɔkoaa mpo de wɔn ano kamfo wo, wʼatamfoɔ nti; na wode bɔ atamfoɔ ne weretɔfoɔ ano.

3 For I see Your heavens, a work of Your fingers, [The] moon and stars that You established.

Sɛ mehwɛ wo soro, wo nsateaa ano adwuma; ɔsrane ne nsoromma a wode obiara asi nʼafa a,

4 What [is] man that You remember him? The son of man that You inspect him?

onipa ne hwan a wokae no, na onipa ba nso ne hwan a wʼani ku ne ho?

5 You make him a little lower than the gods [[or God]], And surround him with glory and majesty.

Wobɔɔ no ma ɔyɛɛ akumaa kakra sene abɔfoɔ na wode wʼanimuonyam ne anidie abɔ no abotire.

6 You cause him to rule Over the works of Your hands, You have placed all under his feet.

Woyɛɛ no sodifoɔ maa wo nsa ano adwuma wode nneɛma nyinaa ahyɛ ne nan ase:

7 Sheep and oxen, all of them, And also beasts of the field,

nnwankuo ne nantwikuo nyinaa ne wiram mmoa nso,

8 Bird of the heavens, and fish of the sea, Passing through the paths of the seas!

ewiem nnomaa ne ɛpo mu mpataa, deɛ ɛnenam ɛpo mu akwan so nyinaa.

9 YHWH, our Lord, How majestic [is] Your Name in all the earth!

Ao, Awurade, yɛn Awurade, wo din yɛ kɛseɛ wɔ asase nyinaa so!
