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!

La gloire de Dieu dans la création
8 Au chef des chantres. Sur la guitthith. Psaume de David.
2 Eternel, notre Seigneur!
Que ton nom est magnifique sur toute la terre!
Ta majesté s’élève au-dessus des cieux.
3 Par la bouche des enfants et de ceux qui sont à la mamelle
Tu as fondé ta gloire[a], pour confondre tes adversaires,
Pour imposer silence à l’ennemi et au vindicatif.
4 Quand je contemple les cieux, ouvrage de tes mains,
La lune et les étoiles que tu as créées:
5 Qu’est-ce que l’homme, pour que tu te souviennes de lui?
Et le fils de l’homme, pour que tu prennes garde à lui?
6 Tu l’as fait de peu inférieur à Dieu[b],
Et tu l’as couronné de gloire et de magnificence.
7 Tu lui as donné la domination sur les œuvres de tes mains,
Tu as tout mis sous ses pieds[c],
8 Les brebis comme les bœufs,
Et les animaux des champs,
9 Les oiseaux du ciel et les poissons de la mer,
Tout ce qui parcourt les sentiers des mers.
10 Eternel, notre Seigneur!
Que ton nom est magnifique sur toute la terre!
