Psalm 8
International Children’s Bible
God’s Greatness and Man’s Worth
For the director of music. By the gittith. A song of David.
8 Lord our Master,
your name is the most wonderful name in all the earth!
It brings you praise in heaven above.
2 You have taught children and babies
to sing praises to you.
This is because of your enemies.
And so you silence your enemies
and destroy those who try to get even.
3 I look at the heavens,
which you made with your hands.
I see the moon and stars,
which you created.
4 But why is man important to you?
Why do you take care of human beings?
5 You made man a little lower than the angels.
And you crowned him with glory and honor.
6 You put him in charge of everything you made.
You put all things under his control:
7 all the sheep, the cattle
and the wild animals,
8 the birds in the sky,
the fish in the sea,
and everything that lives under water.
9 Lord our Master,
your name is the most wonderful name in all the earth!

Skapelsens krona
1-2 Herre, vår Gud, ditt namns storhet uppfyller hela jorden och fyller himlen till brädden.
3 Till och med de små barnen sjunger lovsång till dig av hela sitt hjärta, och deras föredöme tystar dina fiender!
4 När jag ser din himmel och det du format med dina händer, månen och stjärnorna, som du har skapat
5 då kan jag inte fatta att du bryr dig om en ynklig liten människa, att du över huvud taget lägger märke till henne!
6 Och ändå har du gjort henne till skapelsens krona, och krönt henne med ära och härlighet. Bara du själv står över henne.
7 Du har satt henne att härska över allt du har skapat,
8 får, oxar, vilda djur,
9 fåglar, fiskar och allt liv i havet.
10 Herre, vår Herre, ditt namns storhet uppfyller hela jorden!

3 When I consider your heavens,(F)
