Psalms 8

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

Zborovođi. Po napjevu “Tijesci”. Psalam. Davidov. Jahve, Gospode naš, divno je ime tvoje po svoj zemlji, veličanstvom nebo natkriljuješ!

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.

U ustima djece i dojenčadi hvalu si spremio protiv neprijatelja, da postidiš mrzitelja, zlotvora.

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

Gledam ti nebesa, djelo prstiju tvojih, mjesec i zvijezde što ih učvrsti -

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

pa što je čovjek da ga se spominješ, sin čovječji te ga pohodiš?

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

Ti ga učini malo manjim od Boga, slavom i sjajem njega okruni.

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

Vlast mu dade nad djelima ruku svojih, njemu pod noge sve podloži:

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

ovce i svakolika goveda, i zvijeri poljske k tome,

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

ptice nebeske i ribe morske, i što god prolazi stazama morskim.

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

Jahve, Gospode naš, divno je ime tvoje po svoj zemlji!
