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.

Dura buʼaa faarfattootaatiif. Faarfannaa Daawit kan Gitiitiidhaan faarfatamu. Yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa keenya, maqaan kee lafa hundatti akkam ulfina qabeessa! Ati ulfina kee samiiwwan irratti diriirsiteerta.

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

Sababii diinota keetiitiif, amajaajii fi nama haaloo baafatu afaan qabachiisuuf jettee, afaan daaʼimmaniitii fi mucoolii harma hodhanii irraa galata qopheessiteerta.

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

Yommuu ani hojii quba keetii, samiiwwan kee, jiʼaa fi urjiiwwan ati hundeessitee ilaalutti,

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

akka ati isaaf yaadduuf namni maali? Akka isaaf dhimmituuf ilmi namaa maali?

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

Ati xinnoo ishee ofii keetii gad isa goote; ulfinaa fi kabajaan isa gonfite.

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

Hojii harka keetii irratti bulchaa isa goote; waan hundas miilla isaa jala galchite;

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

bushaayee fi loon hunda, bineensota bosonaas,

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

simbirroota samii irraa, qurxummii galaanaa, waan daandii galaanaatiin darbu hundas miilla isaa jala galchite.

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

Yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa keenya, maqaan kee lafa hundumaa irratti akkam ulfina qabeessa!
