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.

Dura buʼaa faarfattootaatiif. Faarfannaa Daawit kan Gitiitiidhaan faarfatamu. Yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa keenya, maqaan kee lafa hundatti akkam ulfina qabeessa! Ati ulfina kee samiiwwan irratti diriirsiteerta.

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.

Sababii diinota keetiitiif, amajaajii fi nama haaloo baafatu afaan qabachiisuuf jettee, afaan daaʼimmaniitii fi mucoolii harma hodhanii irraa galata qopheessiteerta.

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

Yommuu ani hojii quba keetii, samiiwwan kee, jiʼaa fi urjiiwwan ati hundeessitee ilaalutti,

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?

akka ati isaaf yaadduuf namni maali? Akka isaaf dhimmituuf ilmi namaa maali?

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

Ati xinnoo ishee ofii keetii gad isa goote; ulfinaa fi kabajaan isa gonfite.

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

Hojii harka keetii irratti bulchaa isa goote; waan hundas miilla isaa jala galchite;

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

bushaayee fi loon hunda, bineensota bosonaas,

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

simbirroota samii irraa, qurxummii galaanaa, waan daandii galaanaatiin darbu hundas miilla isaa jala galchite.

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

Yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa keenya, maqaan kee lafa hundumaa irratti akkam ulfina qabeessa!
