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 set your glory above 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 babes and infants you have established strength, 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? What is 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, and crowned him with glory and honour.

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

You make 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, yes, and the animals of the field,

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

the birds of the sky, the fish of the sea, and 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!
