上帝的荣耀与人的尊贵

大卫的诗,交给乐长,迦特乐器伴奏。

我们的主耶和华啊,
你的名在地上何其尊贵!
你的荣耀充满诸天。
你使孩童和婴儿的口发出颂赞,
好叫你的仇敌哑口无言。
我观看你指头创造的穹苍和你摆列的月亮星辰,
人算什么,你竟顾念他!
世人算什么,你竟眷顾他!
你叫他比天使低微一点,
赐他荣耀和尊贵作冠冕。
你派他管理你亲手造的万物,
使万物降服在他脚下:
牛羊、田野的兽、
空中的鸟、海里的鱼及其他水族。
我们的主耶和华啊,
你的名在地上何其尊贵!

Psalm 8

To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm of David.

O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.

Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.

When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.

Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:(A)

All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;

The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.

O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!

Salmo de David. Para o diretor do coro.

Ó Senhor, nosso Deus, como é admirável a grandeza
que o teu nome tem sobre toda a Terra!
Estabeleceste o teu esplendor acima dos céus.
Da boca dos pequenos e das criancinhas de peito,
levantaste uma fortaleza, por causa dos teus inimigos,
para fazer calar todo aquele que se opõe a ti.
Quando de noite contemplo os céus
e vejo a obra dos teus dedos,
a Lua e as estrelas que fizeste, pergunto:
Que é o homem,
para que te preocupes com ele?
E quem é o filho do homem,
para que te lembres dele?

Apesar disso, fizeste-o um pouco menor do que Deus[a],
e coroaste-o de honra e glória.
Deste-lhe domínio sobre aquilo que criaste.
Puseste tudo sob os seus pés:
ovelhas, bois, animais selvagens;
pássaros, peixes e tudo o que tem vida nos mares.

Ó Senhor, nosso Deus,
como é admirável a grandeza
que o teu nome tem sobre toda a Terra!

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)

Through the praise of children and infants

    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,
