Psalms 8

1 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.

1 耶和華－我們的主啊， 你的名在全地何其美！ 你將你的榮耀彰顯於天。

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

2 你因敵人的緣故， 從嬰孩和吃奶的口中， 建立了能力， 使仇敵和報仇的閉口無言。

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

3 我觀看你指頭所造的天， 並你所陳設的月亮星宿，

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

4 便說：人算甚麼，你竟顧念他！ 世人算甚麼，你竟眷顧他！

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

5 你叫他比天使 微小一點， 並賜他榮耀尊貴為冠冕。

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

6–8 你派他管理你手所造的， 使萬物，就是一切的牛羊、 田野的獸、空中的鳥、海裏的魚， 凡經行海道的，都服在他的腳下。

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

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

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

9 耶和華－我們的主啊， 你的名在全地何其美！
