Psalms 8

1 To the Overseer, 'On the Gittith.' A Psalm of David. Jehovah, our Lord, How honourable Thy name in all the earth! Who settest thine honour on the heavens.

Zborovođi. Po napjevu “Tijesci”. Psalam. Davidov. Jahve, Gospode naš, divno je ime tvoje po svoj zemlji, veličanstvom nebo natkriljuješ!

2 From the mouths of infants and sucklings Thou hast founded strength, Because of Thine adversaries, To still an enemy and a self-avenger.

U ustima djece i dojenčadi hvalu si spremio protiv neprijatelja, da postidiš mrzitelja, zlotvora.

3 For I see Thy heavens, a work of Thy fingers, Moon and stars that Thou didst establish.

Gledam ti nebesa, djelo prstiju tvojih, mjesec i zvijezde što ih učvrsti -

4 What [is] man that Thou rememberest him? The son of man that Thou inspectest him?

pa što je čovjek da ga se spominješ, sin čovječji te ga pohodiš?

5 And causest him to lack a little of Godhead, And with honour and majesty compassest him.

Ti ga učini malo manjim od Boga, slavom i sjajem njega okruni.

6 Thou dost cause him to rule Over the works of Thy hands, All Thou hast placed under his feet.

Vlast mu dade nad djelima ruku svojih, njemu pod noge sve podloži:

7 Sheep and oxen, all of them, And also beasts of the field,

ovce i svakolika goveda, i zvijeri poljske k tome,

8 Bird of the heavens, and fish of the sea, Passing through the paths of the seas!

ptice nebeske i ribe morske, i što god prolazi stazama morskim.

9 Jehovah, our Lord, How honourable Thy name in all the earth!

Jahve, Gospode naš, divno je ime tvoje po svoj zemlji!
