8 Een psalm van David voor de koordirigent. Te begeleiden met het muziekinstrument uit Gath.
2 Here, onze God,
de majesteit en glorie van uw naam
vullen de gehele aarde
en de hemelen vloeien ervan over.
3 U hebt de kleine kinderen geleerd
U volmaakt te prijzen.
Hun voorbeeld zal uw vijanden
en hen die op wraak zinnen,
beschaamd doen staan
en tot zwijgen brengen!
4 Als ik ʼs nachts omhoog kijk naar de hemel
en het werk van uw handen zie,
de maan en de sterren,
die U hun plaats gegeven hebt,
5 wat is dan de mens,
dat U zoveel om hem geeft?
Wat is een mensenkind
dat U Zich om hem bekommert?
6 En U hebt hem een plaats vlak onder Uzelf gegeven,
U hebt hem gekroond met heerlijkheid en eer.
7 U hebt hem zelfs het beheer gegeven
over alles wat U hebt gemaakt,
alles staat onder zijn gezag:
8 alle schapen en runderen
en andere dieren in het veld,
9 de vogels in de lucht
en de vissen en andere wezens in de zee.
10 O Here, onze God,
de majesteit en glorie van uw naam
vullen de hele aarde!

How Majestic Is Your Name
For the choir director. According to the Gittith. A Psalm of David.
8 O Yahweh, our Lord,
How majestic is Your name in all the earth,
Who [a](A)displays Your splendor above the heavens!
2 (B)From the mouth of infants and nursing babies You have established [b](C)strength
Because of Your adversaries,
To make (D)the enemy and the revengeful cease.
3 When I (E)see (F)Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,
The (G)moon and the stars, which You have established;
4 (H)What is man that You remember him,
And the son of man that You care for him?
5 Yet You have made him a (I)little lower than the [c]angels,
And (J)You crown him with (K)glory and majesty!
6 You make him to (L)rule over the works of Your hands;
You have (M)put all things under his feet,
7 All sheep and oxen,
And also the animals of the field,
8 The birds of the heavens and the fish of the sea,
Whatever passes through the paths of the seas.
9 (N)O Yahweh, our Lord,
How majestic is Your name in all the earth!
