Kaluwalhatian ng Diyos at Dignidad ng Tao

Katha ni David upang awitin ng Punong Mang-aawit: sa saliw ng Gittith.[a]

O Yahweh, na aming Panginoon,
    sa buong mundo'y tunay kang dakila!
Iyong papuri'y abot sa langit!
    Pinupuri(A) ka ng mga bata't bagong silang,
ikaw ay nagtayo ng isang tanggulan,
    kaya't natahimik ang lahat ng iyong kaaway.
Pinagmasdan ko ang langit na gawa ng iyong kamay,
    pati ang buwan at mga bituin na iyong inilagay.
Ano(B) ba ang tao upang iyong pahalagahan;
    o ang anak ng tao upang iyong pangalagaan?

Nilikha(C) mo siyang mababa sa iyo[b] nang kaunti,
    pinuspos mo siya ng dangal at ng luwalhati.
Ginawa(D) mo siyang pinuno ng lahat ng iyong nilikha,
    sa lahat ng mga bagay, siya ang iyong pinamahala:
    mga tupa at kawan pati na ang mababangis,
    lahat ng ibong lumilipad, at mga isda sa karagatan,
    at lahat ng nilikhang nasa karagatan.

O Yahweh, na aming Panginoon,
    sa buong mundo'y tunay kang dakila!

The Wonderful Name of the Lord

Our Lord and Ruler,
your name is wonderful
    everywhere on earth!
You let your glory be seen[b]
    in the heavens above.
(A) With praises from children
and from tiny infants,
    you have built a fortress.
It makes your enemies silent,
and all who turn against you
    are left speechless.

I often think of the heavens
    your hands have made,
and of the moon and stars
    you put in place.
(B) Then I ask, “Why do you care
    about us humans?
Why are you concerned
    for us weaklings?”
(C) You made us a little lower
    than you yourself,[c]
and you have crowned us
    with glory and honor.

(D) You let us rule everything
    your hands have made.
And you put all of it
    under our power—
the sheep and the cattle,
    and every wild animal,
the birds in the sky,
the fish in the sea,
    and all ocean creatures.

Our Lord and Ruler,
your name is wonderful
    everywhere on earth!

Psalm 8[a]

For the director of music. According to gittith.[b] A psalm of David.

Lord, our Lord,
    how majestic is your name(A) in all the earth!

You have set your glory(B)
    in the heavens.(C)
Through the praise of children and infants
    you have established a stronghold(D) against your enemies,
    to silence the foe(E) and the avenger.
When I consider your heavens,(F)
    the work of your fingers,(G)
the moon and the stars,(H)
    which you have set in place,
what is mankind that you are mindful of them,
    human beings that you care for them?[c](I)

You have made them[d] a little lower than the angels[e](J)
    and crowned them[f] with glory and honor.(K)
You made them rulers(L) over the works of your hands;(M)
    you put everything under their[g] feet:(N)
all flocks and herds,(O)
    and the animals of the wild,(P)
the birds in the sky,
    and the fish in the sea,(Q)
    all that swim the paths of the seas.

Lord, our Lord,
    how majestic is your name in all the earth!(R)
