Psalmowo 8

1 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.

For the end, concerning the wine-presses, a Psalm of David. O Lord, our Lord, how wonderful is thy name in all the earth! for thy magnificence is exalted above the heavens.

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

Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou perfected praise, because of thine enemies; that thou mightest put down the enemy and avenger.

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

For I will regard the heavens, the work of thy fingers; the moon and stars, which thou hast established.

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

What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him?

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

Thou madest him a little less than angels, thou hast crowned him with glory and honour;

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

and thou hast set him over the works of thy hands: thou hast put all things under his feet:

7 Alẽhawo, nyihawo, gbemelãwo,

sheep and all oxen, yea and the cattle of the field;

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

the birds of the sky, and the fish of the sea, the [creatures] passing through the paths of the sea.

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

O Lord our Lord, how wonderful is thy name in all the earth!
