Mazmur 8

1 Untuk pemimpin biduan. Menurut lagu: Gitit. Mazmur Daud. Ya TUHAN, Tuhan kami, betapa mulianya nama-Mu di seluruh bumi! Keagungan-Mu yang mengatasi langit dinyanyikan.

[For the Chief Musician; on an instrument of Gath. A Psalm by David.] LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth. You have put your glory upon the heavens.

2 Dari mulut bayi-bayi dan anak-anak yang menyusu telah Kauletakkan dasar kekuatan karena lawan-Mu, untuk membungkamkan musuh dan pendendam.

From the lips of children and infants you have established praise, because of your adversaries, that you might silence the enemy and the avenger.

3 Jika aku melihat langit-Mu, buatan jari-Mu, bulan dan bintang-bintang yang Kautempatkan:

When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have ordained;

4 apakah manusia, sehingga Engkau mengingatnya? Apakah anak manusia, sehingga Engkau mengindahkannya?

what is man, that you think of him, and the son of man that you care for him?

5 Namun Engkau telah membuatnya hampir sama seperti Allah, dan telah memahkotainya dengan kemuliaan dan hormat.

For you have made him a little lower than the angels. You have crowned him with glory and honor,

6 Engkau membuat dia berkuasa atas buatan tangan-Mu; segala-galanya telah Kauletakkan di bawah kakinya:

and you made him ruler over the works of your hands. You have put all things under his feet:

7 kambing domba dan lembu sapi sekalian, juga binatang-binatang di padang;

all sheep and cattle, and also the wild animals,

8 burung-burung di udara dan ikan-ikan di laut, dan apa yang melintasi arus lautan.

the birds of the sky, and the fish of the sea, whatever passes through the paths of the seas.

9 Ya TUHAN, Tuhan kami, betapa mulianya nama-Mu di seluruh bumi!

LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth.
