< תהילים 8 >
לַמְנַצֵּחַ עַֽל־הַגִּתִּית מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִֽד׃ יְהוָה אֲדֹנֵינוּ מָֽה־אַדִּיר שִׁמְךָ בְּכָל־הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר תְּנָה הוֹדְךָ עַל־הַשָּׁמָֽיִם׃ | 1 |
O LORD, our Lord, how excellent is your name in all the earth! who have set your glory above the heavens.
מִפִּי עֽוֹלְלִים ׀ וְֽיֹנְקִים יִסַּדְתָּ עֹז לְמַעַן צוֹרְרֶיךָ לְהַשְׁבִּית אוֹיֵב וּמִתְנַקֵּֽם׃ | 2 |
Out of the mouth of babes and infants have you ordained strength because of your enemies, that you might still the enemy and the avenger.
כִּֽי־אֶרְאֶה שָׁמֶיךָ מַעֲשֵׂי אֶצְבְּעֹתֶיךָ יָרֵחַ וְכוֹכָבִים אֲשֶׁר כּוֹנָֽנְתָּה׃ | 3 |
When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have ordained;
מָֽה־אֱנוֹשׁ כִּֽי־תִזְכְּרֶנּוּ וּבֶן־אָדָם כִּי תִפְקְדֶֽנּוּ׃ | 4 |
What is man, that you are mindful of him? and the son of man, that you visit him?
וַתְּחַסְּרֵהוּ מְּעַט מֵאֱלֹהִים וְכָבוֹד וְהָדָר תְּעַטְּרֵֽהוּ׃ | 5 |
For you have made him a little lower than the angels, and have crowned him with glory and honour.
תַּמְשִׁילֵהוּ בְּמַעֲשֵׂי יָדֶיךָ כֹּל שַׁתָּה תַֽחַת־רַגְלָֽיו׃ | 6 |
You made him to have dominion over the works of your hands; you have put all things under his feet:
צֹנֶה וַאֲלָפִים כֻּלָּם וְגַם בַּהֲמוֹת שָׂדָֽי׃ | 7 |
All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;
צִפּוֹר שָׁמַיִם וּדְגֵי הַיָּם עֹבֵר אָרְחוֹת יַמִּֽים׃ | 8 |
The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passes through the paths of the seas.
יְהוָה אֲדֹנֵינוּ מָֽה־אַדִּיר שִׁמְךָ בְּכָל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ | 9 |
O LORD our Lord, how excellent is your name in all the earth!
