Psalms 8

1 To the Chief Musician. On "the Gittith." A Melody of David. O Yahweh, our Lord! How majestic is thy Name, in all the earth, Who hast set thy splendour upon the heavens.

大衛的詩，交與伶長。用迦特樂器。 耶和華－我們的主啊， 你的名在全地何其美！ 你將你的榮耀彰顯於天。

2 Out of the mouth of children and sucklings, hast thou laid a foundation of strength, —because of thine adversaries, to make foe and avenger be still.

你因敵人的緣故， 從嬰孩和吃奶的口中， 建立了能力， 使仇敵和報仇的閉口無言。

3 When I view thy heavens, the work, of thy fingers, moon and stars, which thou hast established,

我觀看你指頭所造的天， 並你所陳設的月亮星宿，

4 What was weak man, that thou shouldst make mention of him? or the son of the earthborn, that thou shouldst set him in charge?

便說：人算甚麼，你竟顧念他！ 世人算甚麼，你竟眷顧他！

5 That thou shouldst make him little less than messengers of God, with glory and honour, shouldst crown him?

你叫他比天使微小一點， 並賜他榮耀尊貴為冠冕。

6 Shouldst give him dominion over the works of thy hands, —All things, shouldst have put under his feet:

你派他管理你手所造的， 使萬物，就是一切的牛羊、 田野的獸、空中的鳥、海裏的魚， 凡經行海道的，都服在他的腳下。

7 Sheep and oxen, all of them, —yea even the beasts of the field;

8 The bird of the heavens, and the fishes of the sea, — the passer-by on the paths of the seas?

9 O Yahweh, our Lord! How majestic is thy Name, in all the earth.

耶和華－我們的主啊， 你的名在全地何其美！
