 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。

'詩 篇 8 ' not found for the version: Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version.

Psalm 8

To the Chief Musician; set to a Philistine lute, or [possibly] to a particular Hittite tune. A Psalm of David.

O Lord, our Lord, how excellent (majestic and glorious) is Your name in all the earth! You have set Your glory on [or above] the heavens.

Out of the mouths of babes and unweaned infants You have established strength because of Your foes, that You might silence the enemy and the avenger.(A)

When I view and consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained and established,

What is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of [earthborn] man that You care for him?

Yet You have made him but a little lower than God [or heavenly beings], and You have crowned him with glory and honor.

You made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet:(B)

All sheep and oxen, yes, and the beasts of the field,

The birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatever passes along the paths of the seas.

O Lord, our Lord, how excellent (majestic and glorious) is Your name in all the 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)
