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.

Untuk pemimpin biduan. Menurut lagu: Gitit. Mazmur Daud. Ya TUHAN, Tuhan kami, betapa mulianya nama-Mu di seluruh bumi! Keagungan-Mu yang mengatasi langit dinyanyikan.

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.

Dari mulut bayi-bayi dan anak-anak yang menyusu telah Kauletakkan dasar kekuatan karena lawan-Mu, untuk membungkamkan musuh dan pendendam.

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

Jika aku melihat langit-Mu, buatan jari-Mu, bulan dan bintang-bintang yang Kautempatkan:

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

apakah manusia, sehingga Engkau mengingatnya? Apakah anak manusia, sehingga Engkau mengindahkannya?

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

Namun Engkau telah membuatnya hampir sama seperti Allah, dan telah memahkotainya dengan kemuliaan dan hormat.

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

Engkau membuat dia berkuasa atas buatan tangan-Mu; segala-galanya telah Kauletakkan di bawah kakinya:

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

kambing domba dan lembu sapi sekalian, juga binatang-binatang di padang;

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

burung-burung di udara dan ikan-ikan di laut, dan apa yang melintasi arus lautan.

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

Ya TUHAN, Tuhan kami, betapa mulianya nama-Mu di seluruh bumi!
