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!

Kathutkung: Devit Oe kaimae Bawipa, Jehovah teh, talai van pueng dawk na min ahawi toungloung. Na bawilennae teh kalvannaw lathueng vah na ta.

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.

Bangkongtetpawiteh, na tarannaw kecu dawk moipathungkung hoi taran na roum sak thai nahanlah, sanu ka net e camonaw pahni dawk hoi thaonae hah na cak 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—

Na kutdawn hoi na sak e kalvannaw hoi na caksak e thapa hoi âsinaw hah ka khet navah,

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

tami heh banglamouh ao teh, na lungthung hoi na pouk. Tami capa heh banglamouh ao teh khuet na pai sin.

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]!

Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahni hah kalvantaminaw hlak bet ka rahnoum lah na sak teh, bawilennae hoi pholennae hah na kâmuk sak.

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

Na kutsaknaw koe kâ na tawn sak teh, a khok rahim bangpuengpa na hruek pouh.

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

Maitotan hoi tu pueng hai, kahrawngum e saring pueng hoi,

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

kalvan e tavanaw hoi, talî thung e tanganaw hoi, talaipui thung kaawm e pueng hoi,

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

Oe BAWIPA, kaimae Bawipa, talai van pueng dawk na min teh ahawi toungloung.
