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 OVERSEER. ON THE GITTITH. A PSALM OF DAVID. YHWH, our Lord, How majestic [is] Your Name in all the earth, Who have set Your splendor on the heavens!

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

From the mouths of infants and sucklings You have founded strength, Because of Your adversaries, To still an enemy and a self-avenger.

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

For I see Your heavens, a work of Your fingers, [The] moon and stars that You established.

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

What [is] man that You remember him? The son of man that You inspect him?

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

You make him a little lower than the gods [[or God]], And surround him with glory and majesty.

6 et constituisti eum super opera manuum tuarum

You cause him to rule Over the works of Your hands, You have placed all 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 beasts of the field,

8 volucres caeli et pisces maris qui perambulant semitas maris

Bird of the heavens, and fish of the sea, Passing through the paths of the seas!

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

YHWH, our Lord, How majestic [is] Your Name in all the earth!
