Salmos 8
Nueva Traducción Viviente
Para el director del coro: salmo de David; acompáñese con instrumento de cuerda.[a]
8 Oh Señor, Señor nuestro, ¡tu majestuoso nombre llena la tierra!
Tu gloria es más alta que los cielos.
2 A los niños y a los bebés les has enseñado
a hablar de tu fuerza;[b]
así silencias a tus enemigos
y a todos los que se te oponen.
3 Cuando miro el cielo de noche y veo la obra de tus dedos
—la luna y las estrellas que pusiste en su lugar—, me pregunto:
4 ¿qué son los simples mortales para que pienses en ellos,
los seres humanos para que de ellos te ocupes?[c]
5 Sin embargo, los hiciste un poco menor que Dios[d]
y los[e] coronaste de gloria y honor.
6 Los pusiste a cargo de todo lo que creaste,
y sometiste todas las cosas bajo su autoridad:
7 los rebaños y las manadas
y todos los animales salvajes,
8 las aves del cielo, los peces del mar,
y todo lo que nada por las corrientes oceánicas.
9 Oh Señor, Señor nuestro, ¡tu majestuoso nombre llena la tierra!

Psalm 8
New Living Translation
Psalm 8
For the choir director: A psalm of David, to be accompanied by a stringed instrument.[a]
1 O Lord, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth!
Your glory is higher than the heavens.
2 You have taught children and infants
to tell of your strength,[b]
silencing your enemies
and all who oppose you.
3 When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers—
the moon and the stars you set in place—
4 what are mere mortals that you should think about them,
human beings that you should care for them?[c]
5 Yet you made them only a little lower than God[d]
and crowned them[e] with glory and honor.
6 You gave them charge of everything you made,
putting all things under their authority—
7 the flocks and the herds
and all the wild animals,
8 the birds in the sky, the fish in the sea,
and everything that swims the ocean currents.
9 O Lord, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth!
