Psalmi 8

1 Oh Gospod, naš Gospod, kako odlično je tvoje ime na vsej zemlji! Ki si svojo slavo postavil nad nebo.

For the choirmaster. According to Gittith. A Psalm of David. O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth! You have set Your glory above the heavens.

2 Iz ust otročičev in dojenčkov si zaradi svojih sovražnikov odredil moč, da bi lahko utišal sovražnika in maščevalca.

From the mouths of children and infants You have ordained praise on account of Your adversaries, to silence the enemy and avenger.

3 Ko opazujem tvoje nebo, delo tvojih prstov, luno in zvezde, ki si jih odredil;

When I behold Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have set in place—

4 kaj je človek, da misliš nanj? In človeški sin, da ga obiskuješ?

what is man that You are mindful of him, or the son of man that You care for him?

5 Kajti naredil si ga malo nižjega kot angele in ga okronal s slavo in častjo.

You made him a little lower than the angels; You crowned him with glory and honor.

6 Naredil si, da ima gospostvo nad deli tvojih rok; vse stvari si položil pod njegova stopala.

You made him ruler of the works of Your hands; You have placed everything under his feet:

7 Vse ovce in vole, da in poljske živali,

all sheep and oxen, and even the beasts of the field,

8 zračno perjad in ribe morja in karkoli se giblje skozi morske steze.

the birds of the air and the fish of the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas.

9 Oh Gospod, naš Gospod, kako odlično je tvoje ime na vsej zemlji!

O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth!
