< 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 set your glory above 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 babes and infants you have established strength, 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? What is 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, and crowned him with glory and honour.
6 Engkau membuat dia berkuasa atas buatan tangan-Mu; segala-galanya telah Kauletakkan di bawah kakinya:
You make 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, yes, and the animals of the field,
8 burung-burung di udara dan ikan-ikan di laut, dan apa yang melintasi arus lautan.
the birds of the sky, the fish of the sea, and 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!
