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!

Aw Bawipa, kaimih a Bawipa, khawmdek khan boeih awh na boeimangnaak be soeih mah hy! Na boeimangnaak ce khankhqik khanawh ta hyk ti.

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.

Qaalkhqi ingkaw lu ak lokhqi sit sak aham ingkaw na qaalkhqi awh, naasenkhqi ingkaw naacakhqi a hui awhkawng kyihcahnaak ce caksak hyk ti.

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—

Khan nakaw ak awm na kut sai pihla ingkaw aihchikhqi, amah a awmnaak hun boeih awh na taakkhqi ce kak poek awh,

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

Thlanghqing ve ikawpna a awm aih awh, na qeetnaak khaak nawh, thlanghqing capa awm na kqip loet hy voei?

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]!

Anih ce khan khaw na ak awm anglakawh ak nem bet na sai nawh boeimang thangleeknaak ing sing hyk ti.

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

Na kut saikhqi boeih ukkung na ta nawh, a khawk kaiawh ik-oeihkhqi boeih ce taak pe hyk ti.

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

Tui a nga ingkaw kqawng nakaw qamsa boeih,

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

khawnghi nakaw chukphakhqi, tuih khui nakaw lum a nga boeih ingkaw tuicunli awhkaw ak cawlhtat boeih ce a khawk kaiawh taak pe hyk ti.

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

Aw Bawipa, kaimih a Bawipa, khawmdek pum awh nang ming qypawm soeih hy.
