< תהילים 8 >

לַמְנַצֵּחַ עַֽל־הַגִּתִּית מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִֽד׃ יְהֹוָה אֲדֹנֵינוּ מָֽה־אַדִּיר שִׁמְךָ בְּכׇל־הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר תְּנָה הוֹדְךָ עַל־הַשָּׁמָֽיִם׃ 1
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.
מִפִּי עוֹלְלִים ׀ וְֽיֹנְקִים יִסַּדְתָּ עֹז לְמַעַן צוֹרְרֶיךָ לְהַשְׁבִּית אוֹיֵב וּמִתְנַקֵּֽם׃ 2
From the mouths of children and infants You have ordained praise on account of Your adversaries, to silence the enemy and avenger.
כִּֽי־אֶרְאֶה שָׁמֶיךָ מַעֲשֵׂה אֶצְבְּעֹתֶיךָ יָרֵחַ וְכוֹכָבִים אֲשֶׁר כּוֹנָֽנְתָּה׃ 3
When I behold Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have set in place—
מָה־אֱנוֹשׁ כִּֽי־תִזְכְּרֶנּוּ וּבֶן־אָדָם כִּי תִפְקְדֶֽנּוּ׃ 4
what is man that You are mindful of him, or the son of man that You care for him?
וַתְּחַסְּרֵהוּ מְּעַט מֵאֱלֹהִים וְכָבוֹד וְהָדָר תְּעַטְּרֵֽהוּ׃ 5
You made him a little lower than the angels; You crowned him with glory and honor.
תַּמְשִׁילֵהוּ בְּמַעֲשֵׂי יָדֶיךָ כֹּל שַׁתָּה תַֽחַת־רַגְלָֽיו׃ 6
You made him ruler of the works of Your hands; You have placed everything under his feet:
צֹנֶה וַאֲלָפִים כֻּלָּם וְגַם בַּהֲמוֹת שָׂדָֽי׃ 7
all sheep and oxen, and even the beasts of the field,
צִפּוֹר שָׁמַיִם וּדְגֵי הַיָּם עֹבֵר אׇרְחוֹת יַמִּֽים׃ 8
the birds of the air and the fish of the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas.
יְהֹוָה אֲדֹנֵינוּ מָה־אַדִּיר שִׁמְךָ בְּכׇל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ 9
O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth!
