시편 8

1여호와 우리 주여 주의 이름이 온 땅에 어찌 그리 아름다운지요 주의 영광을 하늘 위에 두셨나이다 2주의 대적을 인하여 어린 아이와 젖먹이의 입으로 말미암아 권능을 세우심이여 이는 원수와 보수자로 잠잠케 하려 하심이니이다 3주의 손가락으로 만드신 주의 하늘과 주의 베풀어 두신 달과 별들을 내가 보오니 4사람이 무엇이관대 주께서 저를 권고하시나이까 5저를 천사보다 조금 못하게 하시고 영화와 존귀로 관을 씌우셨나이다 6주의 손으로 만드신 것을 다스리게 하시고 만물을 그 발 아래 두셨으니 7곧 모든 우양과 들짐승이며 8공중의 새와 바다의 어족과 해로에 다니는 것이니이다 9여호와 우리 주여 주의 이름이 온 땅에 어찌 그리 아름다운지요

1Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth, who has set your glory above the heavens! 2From the lips of babes and infants you have established strength, because of your adversaries, that you might silence the enemy and the avenger. 3When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have ordained; 4what is man, that you think of him? What is the son of man, that you care for him? 5For you have made him a little lower than God, and crowned him with glory and honor. 6You make him ruler over the works of your hands. You have put all things under his feet: 7All sheep and cattle, yes, and the animals of the field, 8The birds of the sky, the fish of the sea, and whatever passes through the paths of the seas. 9Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!

1Een psalm van David, voor den opperzangmeester, op de Gitthith. 2O HEERE, onze Heere! hoe heerlijk is Uw Naam op de ganse aarde! Gij, die Uw majesteit gesteld hebt boven de hemelen. 3Uit de mond der kinderkens en der zuigelingen hebt Gij sterkte gegrondvest, om Uwer tegenpartijen wil, om den vijand en wraakgierige te doen ophouden. 4Als ik Uw hemel aanzie, het werk Uwer vingeren, de maan en de sterren, die Gij bereid hebt; 5Wat is de mens, dat Gij zijner gedenkt, en de zoon des mensen, dat Gij hem bezoekt? 6En hebt hem een weinig minder gemaakt dan de engelen, en hebt hem met eer en heerlijkheid gekroond? 7Gij doet hem heersen over de werken Uwer handen; Gij hebt alles onder zijn voeten gezet; 8Schapen en ossen, alle die; ook mede de dieren des velds. 9Het gevogelte des hemels, en de vissen der zee; hetgeen de paden der zeeen doorwandelt. O HEERE, onze Heere! hoe heerlijk is Uw Naam op de ganse aarde!
