Psalmorum 8

1 in finem pro torcularibus psalmus David Domine Dominus noster quam admirabile est nomen tuum in universa terra quoniam elevata est magnificentia tua super caelos

To the chief Musician. Upon the Gittith. A Psalm of David. Jehovah our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy majesty above the heavens.

2 ex ore infantium et lactantium perfecisti laudem propter inimicos tuos ut destruas inimicum et ultorem

Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou established praise because of thine adversaries, to still the enemy and the avenger.

3 quoniam videbo caelos tuos; opera digitorum tuorum lunam et stellas quae tu fundasti

When I see thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and stars, which thou hast established;

4 quid est homo quod memor es eius aut filius hominis quoniam visitas eum

What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

5 minuisti eum paulo minus ab angelis gloria et honore coronasti eum

Thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and splendour.

6 et constituisti eum super opera manuum tuarum

Thou hast made him to rule over the works of thy hands; thou hast put everything under his feet:

7 omnia subiecisti sub pedibus eius oves et boves universas insuper et pecora campi

Sheep and oxen, all of them, and also the beasts of the field;

8 volucres caeli et pisces maris qui perambulant semitas maris

The fowl of the heavens, and the fishes of the sea, [whatever] passeth through the paths of the seas.

9 Domine Dominus noster quam admirabile est nomen tuum in universa terra

Jehovah our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
