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!

【人的尊威】 達味詩歌，交與槳官。調寄「加特」。 上主，我們的主！你的名號在普世何其美妼！你的尊榮在天上彰顯光耀。

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.

由赤子乳兒的口中，你取得完美的讚頌；為使恨你的人受辱，為使仇敵有口無用。

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—

當我仰望你手指創造的穹蒼，和你在天上布置的星辰月亮，

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

世人算什麼，你竟對他懷念不忘？人子算什麼，你竟對他眷顧周詳？

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]!

竟使他稍微遜於天神，以尊貴光榮作他冠冕，

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

令他統治你手的造化，將一切放在他的腳下：

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

所有的羊和牛，與野外的走獸，

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

天空的飛鳥和海裏的魚類，及種種游泳於海道的水族。

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

上主，我們的主！你的名號在普世何其美妙！
