Salamo 8

1 Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira Al-hagitith. Salamo nataon’ i Davida. Jehovah, Tomponay ô, endrey ny voninahitry ny anaranao amin’ ny tany rehetra! nataonao eny amin’ ny lanitra ny voninahitrao.

“For the leader of the music; to be accompanied with the gittith. A psalm of David.” O Jehovah, our Lord! How excellent is thy name in all the earth! Thou hast set thy glory above the heavens.

2 Avy amin’ ny vavan’ ny ankizy madinika sy ny minono no nanorenanao hery noho ny mpandrafy Anao, mba hampanginanao ny fahavalo sy izay ta-hamaly ratsy.

Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained praise, To put thine adversaries to shame, And to silence the enemy and avenger.

3 Raha jereko ny lanitrao, izay asan’ ny rantsan-tananao, sy ny volana aman-kintana, izay noforoninao,

When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, The moon and the stars which thou hast ordained:

4 Inona moa ny olona, no ahatsiarovanao azy? Ary ny zanak’ olombelona, no amangianao azy?

What is man, that thou art mindful of him, And the son of man, that thou carest for him?

5 Fa efa nataonao ambany kely noho Andriamanitra izy, ary efa nosatrohanao voninahitra sy fiandrianana.

Yet thou hast made him little lower than God; Thou hast crowned him with glory and honor.

6 Efa nampanjakainao amin’ ny asan’ ny tananao izy; ny zavatra rehetra dia efa nataonao eo ambanin’ ny tongony,

Thou hast given him dominion over the works of thy hands; Thou hast put all things under his feet, —

7 Dia ny ondry aman’ osy sy ny omby rehetra, ary ny bibidia koa,

All sheep and oxen, Yea, and the beasts of the forest;

8 Mbamin’ ny voro-manidina sy ny hazandrano any an-dranomasina, izay mandeha amin’ ny lalan-dranomasina.

The birds of the air, and the fishes of the sea, And whatever passeth through the paths of the deep.

9 Jehovah Tomponay ô, endrey ny voninahitry ny anaranao amin’ ny tany rehetra!

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