Sòm 8

1 Pou chèf sanba yo. Se sou lè chante yo chante lè y'ap kraze rezen. Se yon sòm David. Seyè, Mèt nou, se toupatou sou latè yo rekonèt jan ou gen pouvwa! Pouvwa ou moute pi wo pase syèl la!

For the choirmaster. According to Gittith. A Psalm of David. O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth! You have set Your glory above the heavens.

2 Ou fè timoun piti ak tibebe nan tete chante jan ou gen fòs, pou ou koresponn ak moun ki pa vle wè ou yo, pou ou fèmen bouch lènmi ou yo ak moun k'ap kenbe tèt avè ou yo.

From the mouths of children and infants You have ordained praise on account of Your adversaries, to silence the enemy and avenger.

3 Lè m'ap gade syèl ou fè ak men ou lan, lalin ak zetwal ou mete ladan li,

When I behold Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have set in place—

4 m'ap mande: -Kisa lèzòm ye pou ou chonje yo konsa? Kisa yo ye menm pou ou pran ka yo konsa?

what is man that You are mindful of him, or the son of man that You care for him?

5 Ou fè yo yon ti kras pi piti pase ou, Bondye. Tankou yon kouwòn sou tèt yo, ou ba yo pouvwa ak respè.

You made him a little lower than the angels; You crowned him with glory and honor.

6 Ou mete yo pou yo donminen sou tou sa ou fè, ou mete tout bagay anba pye yo:

You made him ruler of the works of Your hands; You have placed everything under his feet:

7 Bèf kou kabrit, ansanm ak tout bèt nan bwa yo,

all sheep and oxen, and even the beasts of the field,

8 zwazo nan syèl, pwason nan dlo, ansanm ak tout lòt bèt k'ap viv nan lanmè.

the birds of the air and the fish of the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas.

9 Seyè, Mèt nou, se toupatou sou latè yo rekonèt jan ou gen pouvwa!

O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth!
