Psalms 8

1 For the chief musician; set to the gittith style. A psalm of David. Yahweh our Lord, how magnificent is your name in all the earth, you who reveal your glory in the heavens above.

David ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. Woadzii ɖe gitit ƒe gbeɖiɖi nu. O Yehowa, míaƒe Aƒetɔ, aleke wò ŋkɔ ƒe gãnyenye yɔ anyigba katã dzi ale! Èɖo wò ŋutikɔkɔe anyi ɖe dziƒowo tame.

2 Out of the mouth of babies and infants you have established praise because of your enemies, so that you might silence both the enemy and the avenger.

Èɖo kafukafu anyi ɖe ɖeviwo kple vi nonowo ƒe nu me le wò futɔwo ta be nàmia nu na futɔ kple hlɔ̃biala la.

3 When I look up at your heavens, which your fingers have made, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,

Ne mekpɔ wò dziƒowo, siwo nye wò asinudɔwɔwɔwo, ne mekpɔ ɣleti kple ɣletiviwo, nu siwo nètsɔ ɖo wo nɔƒee la,

4 Of what importance is the human race that you notice them, or mankind that you pay attention to them?

Nu kae nye amegbetɔ be wò ŋkuwo le eŋuti kple amegbetɔvi be nèléa be nɛ?

5 Yet you have made them only a little lower than the heavenly beings and have crowned them with glory and honor.

Èwɔe wòsɔ kple Mawu kloe, eye nètsɔ ŋutikɔkɔe kple bubu ɖɔ nɛ.

6 You make him to rule over the works of your hands; you have put all things under his feet:

Èwɔe be wòanye agbo ɖe wò asinudɔwɔwɔ dzi; eye nètsɔ nu sia nu de eƒe afɔ te.

7 all sheep and oxen, and even the animals of the field,

Alẽhawo, nyihawo, gbemelãwo,

8 the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea, everything that passes through the currents of the seas.

dziƒoxeviwo, ƒumelãwo kple nu siwo katã ƒua tsi le atsiaƒu me la le eƒe kpɔkplɔ te.

9 Yahweh our Lord, how magnificent is your name in all the earth!

O Yehowa, míaƒe Aƒetɔ, aleke wò ŋkɔ ƒe gãnyenye yɔ anyigba katã dzi ale!
