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!

Načelniku godbe pri postaji Gitajski, psalm Davidov. Gospod, kralj naš, kako veličastno je ime tvoje na vesoljni zemlji, kateri razodevaš nadnebeško lepoto svojo.

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.

Iz ust otrok in dojencev si ustanovil si utrjeno hvalo, zavoljo sovražnikov svojih, da krotiš neprijatelja in maščevalca.

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—

Ko ogledujem nebesa tvoja, prstov tvojih delo, mesec in zvezde, ki si jih napravil;

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

Kaj je človek, da se ga spominjaš, ali sin človekov, da ga obiskuješ!

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]!

Malo si ga sicer postavil pod angele, a venčal si ga sè slavo in veličastvom.

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

Postavil si ga čez dela svojih rók; vse si položil pod noge njegove:

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

Drobnico in goveda, kolikor jih je, in tudi poljske živali;

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

Tice pod nebom in ribe v morji; karkoli se izprehaja po morskih stezah.

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

Gospod, kralj naš, kako veličastno je ime tvoje na vesoljni zemlji!
