Psalm 8
God’s Glory, Human Dignity
For the choir director: on the Gittith.(A) A psalm of David.
1 Lord, our Lord,
how magnificent is your name throughout the earth!(B)
You have covered the heavens with your majesty.[a](C)
2 From the mouths of infants and nursing babies,(D)
you have established a stronghold[b]
on account of your adversaries
in order to silence the enemy and the avenger.
3 When I observe your heavens,
the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars,
which you set in place,(E)
4 what is a human being that you remember him,
a son of man[c] that you look after him?(F)
5 You made him little less than God[d][e]
and crowned him with glory and honor.
6 You made him ruler over the works of your hands;
you put everything under his feet:(G)
7 all the sheep and oxen,
as well as the animals in the wild,
8 the birds of the sky,
and the fish of the sea
that pass through the currents of the seas.(H)
9 Lord, our Lord,
how magnificent is your name throughout the earth!
Psalm 8
New King James Version
The Glory of the Lord in Creation
To the Chief Musician. [a]On the instrument of Gath. A Psalm of David.
8 O Lord, our Lord,
How (A)excellent is Your name in all the earth,
Who have (B)set Your glory above the heavens!
2 (C)Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants
You have [b]ordained strength,
Because of Your enemies,
That You may silence (D)the enemy and the avenger.
3 When I (E)consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,
The moon and the stars, which You have ordained,
4 (F)What is man that You are mindful of him,
And the son of man that You (G)visit[c] him?
5 For You have made him a little lower than [d]the angels,
And You have crowned him with glory and honor.
6 (H)You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands;
(I)You have put all things under his feet,
7 All sheep and oxen—
Even the beasts of the field,
8 The birds of the air,
And the fish of the sea
That pass through the paths of the seas.
9 (J)O Lord, our Lord,
How excellent is Your name in all the earth!
Salmos 8
Dios Habla Hoy
La gloria de Dios y la dignidad del hombre
(1) Del maestro de coro, con la cítara de Gat. Salmo de David.
8 (2) Señor, soberano nuestro,
¡tu nombre domina en toda la tierra!,
¡tu gloria se extiende más allá del cielo!
2 (3) Con la alabanza de los pequeños,
de los niñitos de pecho,
has construido una fortaleza
por causa de tus enemigos,
para acabar con rebeldes y adversarios.
3 (4) Cuando veo el cielo que tú mismo hiciste,
y la luna y las estrellas que pusiste en él,
4 (5) pienso:
¿Qué es el hombre?
¿Qué es el ser humano?
¿Por qué lo recuerdas y te preocupas por él?
5 (6) Pues lo hiciste casi como un dios,
lo rodeaste de honor y dignidad,
6 (7) le diste autoridad sobre tus obras,
lo pusiste por encima de todo:
7 (8) sobre las ovejas y los bueyes, sobre los animales salvajes,
8 (9) sobre las aves que vuelan por el cielo,
sobre los peces que viven en el mar,
¡sobre todo lo que hay en el mar!
9 (10) Señor, soberano nuestro,
¡tu nombre domina en toda la tierra!
