< 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!
大衛的詩,交與伶長。用迦特樂器。 耶和華-我們的主啊, 你的名在全地何其美! 你將你的榮耀彰顯於天。
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.
你因敵人的緣故, 從嬰孩和吃奶的口中, 建立了能力, 使仇敵和報仇的閉口無言。
3 When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have ordained,
我觀看你指頭所造的天, 並你所陳設的月亮星宿,
4 what is man, that you think of him? What is the son of man, that you care for him?
便說:人算甚麼,你竟顧念他! 世人算甚麼,你竟眷顧他!
5 For you have made him a little lower than the angels, and crowned him with glory and honor.
你叫他比天使微小一點, 並賜他榮耀尊貴為冠冕。
6 You make him ruler over the works of your hands. You have put all things under his feet:
你派他管理你手所造的, 使萬物,就是一切的牛羊、 田野的獸、空中的鳥、海裏的魚, 凡經行海道的,都服在他的腳下。
7 All sheep and cattle, yes, and the animals of the field,
8 the birds of the sky, the fish of the sea, and whatever passes through the paths of the seas.
9 LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
耶和華-我們的主啊, 你的名在全地何其美!
