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 leader: A psalm of David, to be accompanied by a stringed instrument. Lord our God! How glorious in all the earth is your name! Your praise reaches as high as 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.

from the mouths of children and infants. You have built a fortress against your enemies, to silence the foe and the rebel.

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

When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set there,

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

what are mortals, that you think of them, humans, that you visit them?

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

Yet you made them little less than divine, crowned them with glory and majesty,

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

made them lord of the works of your hands, put all things under their feet –

7 Alẽhawo, nyihawo, gbemelãwo,

sheep and oxen, all of them; and the wild beasts also:

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

birds of the air, and fish of the sea, and all that crosses the paths of the ocean.

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

Lord our God! How glorious in all the earth is your name!
