Psalms 8

1 Fún adarí orin. Gẹ́gẹ́ bí ti gittiti. Saamu ti Dafidi. Olúwa, Olúwa wa, orúkọ rẹ̀ ti ní ìyìn tó ní gbogbo ayé! Ìwọ ti gbé ògo rẹ ga ju àwọn ọ̀run lọ.

Yahweh, our Lord, people all over the world know that you [MTY] are very great! Your glory reaches up higher than the heavens!

2 Láti ẹnu ọmọ ọwọ́ àti ọmọ ọmú ni o ti yan ìyìn nítorí àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ, láti pa àwọn ọ̀tá àti àwọn olùgbẹ̀san lẹ́nu mọ́.

You have taught little children and infants to praise you; they cause your enemies and those who try to (get revenge on/get rid of) you to be silent.

3 Nígbà tí mo ro ọ̀run rẹ, iṣẹ́ ìka rẹ, òṣùpá àti ìràwọ̀, tí ìwọ tí gbé kalẹ̀,

When I look up at the sky [at night], and see the things that you have made— the moon and the stars that you have set in place—

4 kí ni ènìyàn tí ìwọ ń rò nípa rẹ̀, àní ọmọ ènìyàn tí ìwọ ń ṣe ìtọ́jú rẹ̀?

it is amazing [to me] that [RHQ] you think about people, that you are concerned about [us] humans!

5 Ìwọ ṣe é ní onírẹ̀lẹ̀ díẹ̀ ju Ọlọ́run lọ, ìwọ sì dé e ní adé ògo àti ọlá.

You made the angels in heaven to be only a little more important than we are; you caused us to be like kings [MET] and you gave us splendor and honor [DOU]!

6 Ìwọ mú un jẹ ọba lórí gbogbo iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ rẹ; ìwọ sì fi ohun gbogbo sí abẹ́ ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀:

You put us in charge of everything that you made; you gave us authority over all things—

7 àwọn agbo àgùntàn àti àwọn màlúù, àti ẹranko igbó,

the sheep and the cattle, and even the wild animals,

8 ẹyẹ ojú ọrun, àti ẹja inú Òkun, àti ohun tí ń wẹ nínú ipa Òkun.

the birds, the fish, and everything [else] that swims in the seas.

9 Olúwa, Olúwa wa, orúkọ rẹ ti ní ìyìn tó ní gbogbo ayé!

Yahweh, our Lord, people all over the world know that you [MTY] are very great!
