Psalmi 8

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

For the leader: A psalm of David, to be accompanied by a stringed instrument. Lord our God! How glorious in all the earth is your name! Your praise reaches as high as 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 mouths of children and infants. You have built a fortress against your enemies, to silence the foe and the rebel.

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

When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set there,

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

what are mortals, that you think of them, humans, that you visit them?

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

Yet you made them little less than divine, crowned them with glory and majesty,

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

made them lord of the works of your hands, put all things under their feet –

7 Ovce i volove sve, i divlje zvjerinje,

sheep and oxen, all of them; and the wild beasts also:

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

birds of the air, and fish of the sea, and all that crosses the paths of the ocean.

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

Lord our God! How glorious in all the earth is your name!
