Psalm 8
Legacy Standard Bible
How Majestic Is Your Name
For the choir director. According to the Gittith. A Psalm of David.
8 O Yahweh, our Lord,
How majestic is Your name in all the earth,
Who [a](A)displays Your splendor above the heavens!
2 (B)From the mouth of infants and nursing babies You have established [b](C)strength
Because of Your adversaries,
To make (D)the enemy and the revengeful cease.
3 When I (E)see (F)Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,
The (G)moon and the stars, which You have established;
4 (H)What is man that You remember him,
And the son of man that You care for him?
5 Yet You have made him a (I)little lower than the [c]angels,
And (J)You crown him with (K)glory and majesty!
6 You make him to (L)rule over the works of Your hands;
You have (M)put all things under his feet,
7 All sheep and oxen,
And also the animals of the field,
8 The birds of the heavens and the fish of the sea,
Whatever passes through the paths of the seas.
9 (N)O Yahweh, our Lord,
How majestic is Your name in all the earth!
Psalm 8
New King James Version
The Glory of the Lord in Creation
To the Chief Musician. [a]On the instrument of Gath. A Psalm of David.
8 O Lord, our Lord,
How (A)excellent is Your name in all the earth,
Who have (B)set Your glory above the heavens!
2 (C)Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants
You have [b]ordained strength,
Because of Your enemies,
That You may silence (D)the enemy and the avenger.
3 When I (E)consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,
The moon and the stars, which You have ordained,
4 (F)What is man that You are mindful of him,
And the son of man that You (G)visit[c] him?
5 For You have made him a little lower than [d]the angels,
And You have crowned him with glory and honor.
6 (H)You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands;
(I)You have put all things under his feet,
7 All sheep and oxen—
Even the beasts of the field,
8 The birds of the air,
And the fish of the sea
That pass through the paths of the seas.
9 (J)O Lord, our Lord,
How excellent is Your name in all the earth!
Sálmarnir 8
Icelandic Bible
8 Til söngstjórans. Á gittít. Davíðssálmur.
2 Drottinn, Guð vor, hversu dýrlegt er nafn þitt um alla jörðina! Þú breiðir ljóma þinn yfir himininn.
3 Af munni barna og brjóstmylkinga hefir þú gjört þér vígi til varnar gegn óvinum þínum, til þess að þagga niður í hefndargirni óvinarins.
4 Þegar ég horfi á himininn, verk handa þinna, tunglið og stjörnurnar, er þú hefir skapað,
5 hvað er þá maðurinn þess, að þú minnist hans, og mannsins barn, að þú vitjir þess?
6 Þú lést hann verða litlu minni en Guð, með sæmd og heiðri krýndir þú hann.
7 Þú lést hann ríkja yfir handaverkum þínum, allt lagðir þú að fótum hans:
8 sauðfénað allan og uxa, og auk þess dýr merkurinnar,
9 fugla loftsins og fiska hafsins, allt það er fer hafsins vegu.
10 Drottinn, Guð vor, hversu dýrlegt er nafn þitt um alla jörðina!
