Psalms 8

1 Yahweh, our Lord, people all over the world know that you [MTY] are very great! Your glory reaches up higher than the heavens!

Gittith rhotoeng dongah aka mawt ham David kah tingtoenglung Kaimih kah boeipa Yahweh tah, diklai pum ah na ming metlam a khuet tih, na mueithennah te vaan dongla na khueh mai.

2 You have taught little children and infants to praise you; they cause your enemies and those who try to (get revenge on/get rid of) you to be silent.

Nang aka daengdaeh kongah, thunkha neh phuloh te kangkuen sak ham camoe neh cahni ka lamkah sarhi na cuen sak.

3 When I look up at the sky [at night], and see the things that you have made— the moon and the stars that you have set in place—

Vaan kah na kutngo hla neh aisi boeih na khueh te ka hmuh vaengah,

4 it is amazing [to me] that [RHQ] you think about people, that you are concerned about [us] humans!

Balae tih hlanghing te na ngaidam tih, hlang capa te na hip?

5 You made the angels in heaven to be only a little more important than we are; you caused us to be like kings [MET] and you gave us splendor and honor [DOU]!

Tedae anih te Pathen lakah vel na toem sak phoeiah ni, anih te thangpomnah neh, rhuepomnah na khuem sak.

6 You put us in charge of everything that you made; you gave us authority over all things—

Na kutngo te anih na taemrhai sak tih, a kho hmuiah,

7 the sheep and the cattle, and even the wild animals,

tu neh saelhung boeih khaw, kohong kah rhamsa khaw,

8 the birds, the fish, and everything [else] that swims in the seas.

vaan kah vaa neh tuitunli kongtlang kah aka kat tuitunli nga khaw boeih a khueh pah.

9 Yahweh, our Lord, people all over the world know that you [MTY] are very great!

Aw BOEIPA, kaimih kah boeipa tah na ming khaw diklai pum ah khuet tangkik.
