Psalms 8

1 For the Chief Musician; on an instrument of Gath. A Psalm by David. LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens!

Untuk pemimpin biduan. Menurut lagu: Gitit. Mazmur Daud. Ya TUHAN, Tuhan kami, betapa mulianya nama-Mu di seluruh bumi! Keagungan-Mu yang mengatasi langit dinyanyikan.

2 From the lips of babes and infants you have established strength, because of your adversaries, that you might silence the enemy and the avenger.

Dari mulut bayi-bayi dan anak-anak yang menyusu telah Kauletakkan dasar kekuatan karena lawan-Mu, untuk membungkamkan musuh dan pendendam.

3 When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have ordained,

Jika aku melihat langit-Mu, buatan jari-Mu, bulan dan bintang-bintang yang Kautempatkan:

4 what is man, that you think of him? What is the son of man, that you care for him?

apakah manusia, sehingga Engkau mengingatnya? Apakah anak manusia, sehingga Engkau mengindahkannya?

5 For you have made him a little lower than the angels, and crowned him with glory and honour.

Namun Engkau telah membuatnya hampir sama seperti Allah, dan telah memahkotainya dengan kemuliaan dan hormat.

6 You make him ruler over the works of your hands. You have put all things under his feet:

Engkau membuat dia berkuasa atas buatan tangan-Mu; segala-galanya telah Kauletakkan di bawah kakinya:

7 All sheep and cattle, yes, and the animals of the field,

kambing domba dan lembu sapi sekalian, juga binatang-binatang di padang;

8 the birds of the sky, the fish of the sea, and whatever passes through the paths of the seas.

burung-burung di udara dan ikan-ikan di laut, dan apa yang melintasi arus lautan.

9 LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!

Ya TUHAN, Tuhan kami, betapa mulianya nama-Mu di seluruh bumi!
