Psalms 8

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

E IEHOVA, e ko makou Haku, Kai ka hemolele o kou inoa ma ka honua a pau! Ua hohola oe i kou nani maluna o na lani.

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.

Noloko ae o ka waha o na keiki hou a me na mea omo, I hoomakaukau ai oe i ka hoolea no kou poe enemi, I pilipu ia oe ka enemi, a me ka mea hoomaau.

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

I ko'u manao ana'ku i kou mau lani, ka hana o kou mau lima, I ka mahina a me na hoku au i hooponopono mai ai;

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

Heaha ke kanaka i manao mai ai oe ia ia? A o ke keiki a ke kanaka hoi i ike mai ai oe ia ia?

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

Ua hana iho oe ia ia malalo iho o ka poe anela, Ua kau mai oe ia ia i ka nani a me ka mahalo i lei nona;

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

Ua hoolilo oe ia ia i haku no na mea a kou mau lima i hana'i; Nau no i waiho na mea a pau malalo ae o kona mau wawae:

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

O na hipa, a me na bipi a pau, Oia, me na holoholona o ke kula;

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

O na manu o ka lewa, a me na ia o ke kai, A me na mea a pau e holo ana ma na ala o ka moana.

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

E IEHOVA, e ko makou Haku, Kai ka hemolele o kou inoa ma ka honua a pau!
