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 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 lips of babes and infants you have established strength, 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 ordained,

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

what is man, that you think of him? What is 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, and crowned him with glory and honour.

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

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

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

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