Psalmi 8

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

For the music director. On the gittith. A psalm of David. Lord, our Lord, your magnificent reputation fills the earth! Your majesty is greater than the heavens above,

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

and is sung by the voices of children and infants. Your strength counters your opponents, silencing the enemy and the avenger.

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

When I contemplate the heavens that your hands made, the moon and stars that you placed there,

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

What are human beings that you should concern yourself with them? What are people that you should care for them?

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

You created them a little lower than God, crowning them with glory and majesty.

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

You put them in charge of all that you made, giving them authority over everything:

7 Vse ovce in vole, da in poljske živali,

the sheep, the cattle, and the wild animals,

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

the birds in the sky, and the fish in the sea—everything that swims in the ocean.

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

Lord, our Lord, your magnificent reputation fills the earth!
