Psalms 8

1 [For the Chief Musician; on an instrument of Gath. A Psalm by David.] Jehovah, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth. You have put your glory upon the heavens.

Oh Gospod, naš Gospod, kako odlično je tvoje ime na vsej zemlji! Ki si svojo slavo postavil nad nebo.

2 From the lips of children and infants you have established praise, because of your adversaries, that you might silence the enemy and the avenger.

Iz ust otročičev in dojenčkov si zaradi svojih sovražnikov odredil moč, da bi lahko utišal sovražnika in maščevalca.

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

Ko opazujem tvoje nebo, delo tvojih prstov, luno in zvezde, ki si jih odredil;

4 what is man, that you think of him, and the son of man that you care for him?

kaj je človek, da misliš nanj? In človeški sin, da ga obiskuješ?

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

Kajti naredil si ga malo nižjega kot angele in ga okronal s slavo in častjo.

6 and you made him ruler over the works of your hands. You have put all things under his feet:

Naredil si, da ima gospostvo nad deli tvojih rok; vse stvari si položil pod njegova stopala.

7 all sheep and cattle, and also the wild animals,

Vse ovce in vole, da in poljske živali,

8 the birds of the sky, and the fish of the sea, whatever passes through the paths of the seas.

zračno perjad in ribe morja in karkoli se giblje skozi morske steze.

9 Jehovah, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth.

Oh Gospod, naš Gospod, kako odlično je tvoje ime na vsej zemlji!
