Psalmi 8

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

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

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

When I consider 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 think of him, and 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.

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

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

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

7 Vse ovce in vole, da in poljske živali,

all sheep and cattle, and also the wild animals,

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

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

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

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