 神的威严,人的尊贵

大卫的诗,交给诗班长,用“迦特”的乐器。

耶和华我们的主啊!

你的名在全地是多么威严,

你把你的荣美彰显在天上。

因你仇敌的缘故,

你从小孩和婴儿的口中,

得着了赞美(“得着了赞美”或译:“建立了能力”),

使仇敌和报仇的无话可说。

我观看你手所造的天,

和你所安放的月亮和星星。

啊!人算甚么,你竟记念他?

世人算甚么,你竟眷顾他?

你使他比天使(“天使”或译:“ 神”)低微一点,

却赐给他荣耀尊贵作冠冕。

你叫他管理你手所造的,

把万物都放在他的脚下,

就是所有的牛羊、

田间的走兽、

空中的飞鸟、海里的鱼,

和海里游行的水族。

耶和华我们的主啊!

你的名在全地是多么威严。

God’s Glory, Human Dignity

For the choir director: on the Gittith.(A) A psalm of David.

Lord, our Lord,
how magnificent is your name throughout the earth!(B)

You have covered the heavens with your majesty.[a](C)
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.

When I observe your heavens,
the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars,
which you set in place,(E)
what is a human being that you remember him,
a son of man[c] that you look after him?(F)
You made him a little less than God[d][e]
and crowned him with glory and honour.
You made him ruler over the works of your hands;
you put everything under his feet:(G)
all the sheep and oxen,
as well as the animals in the wild,
the birds of the sky,
and the fish of the sea
that pass through the currents of the seas.(H)

Lord, our Lord,
how magnificent is your name throughout the earth!

Salmo 8

La gloria del Señor y la dignidad del hombre

Para el director del coro; sobre Gitit. Salmo de David.

Posiblemente instrumento o melodía procedente de Gat.

¡Oh Señor, Señor nuestro,
Cuán glorioso es Tu nombre en toda la tierra,
Que has desplegado Tu gloria sobre los cielos(A)!
Por boca de los infantes y de los niños de pecho(B) has establecido Tu fortaleza(C),
Por causa de Tus adversarios,
Para hacer cesar al enemigo y al vengativo(D).
¶Cuando veo Tus cielos(E), obra de Tus dedos,
La luna y las estrellas(F) que Tú has establecido,
Digo: ¿Qué es el hombre para que te acuerdes de él,
Y el hijo del hombre para que lo cuides[a](G)?
¡Sin embargo, lo has hecho un poco menor que los ángeles(H),
Y lo coronas(I) de gloria y majestad(J)!
Tú le haces señorear sobre las obras de Tus manos(K);
Todo lo has puesto bajo sus pies(L):
Todas las ovejas y los bueyes,
Y también las bestias del campo,
Las aves de los cielos y los peces del mar,
Cuanto atraviesa las sendas de los mares.
¶¡Oh Señor, Señor nuestro,
Cuán glorioso es Tu nombre en toda la tierra(M)!

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)
