Psalmi 8

1 Gospode, Gospode naš! kako je velièanstveno ime tvoje po svoj zemlji! Podigao si slavu svoju više nebesa.

[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 U ustima male djece i koja sisaju èiniš sebi hvalu nasuprot neprijateljima svojim, da bi uèinio da zamukne neprijatelj i nemirnik.

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 Kad pogledam nebesa tvoja, djelo prsta tvojih, mjesec i zvijezde, koje si ti postavio;

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

4 Šta je èovjek, te ga se opominješ, ili sin èovjeèji, te ga polaziš?

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

5 Uèinio si ga malo manjega od anðela, slavom i èašæu vjenèao si ga;

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

6 Postavio si ga gospodarom nad djelima ruku svojih, sve si metnuo pod noge njegove,

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

7 Ovce i volove sve, i divlje zvjerinje,

all sheep and cattle, and also the wild animals,

8 Ptice nebeske i ribe morske, što god ide morskim putovima.

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

9 Gospode, Gospode naš! kako je velièanstveno ime tvoje po svoj zemlji!

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