Psalm 8
World English Bible
For the Chief Musician; on an instrument of Gath. A Psalm by David.
8 Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
You have set your glory above the heavens!
2 From the lips of babes and infants you have established strength,
because of your adversaries, that you might silence the enemy and the avenger.
3 When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars, which you have ordained,
4 what is man, that you think of him?
What is the son of man, that you care for him?
5 For you have made him a little lower than the angels,[a]
and crowned him with glory and honor.
6 You make him ruler over the works of your hands.
You have put all things under his feet:
7 All sheep and cattle,
yes, and the animals of the field,
8 the birds of the sky, the fish of the sea,
and whatever passes through the paths of the seas.
9 Yahweh, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!

诗篇 8
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
神的威嚴，人的尊貴
大衛的詩，交給詩班長，用“迦特”的樂器。
8 耶和華我們的主啊！
你的名在全地是多麼威嚴，
你把你的榮美彰顯在天上。
2 因你仇敵的緣故，
你從小孩和嬰兒的口中，
得著了讚美（“得著了讚美”或譯：“建立了能力”），
使仇敵和報仇的無話可說。
3 我觀看你手所造的天，
和你所安放的月亮和星星。
4 啊！人算甚麼，你竟記念他？
世人算甚麼，你竟眷顧他？
5 你使他比天使（“天使”或譯：“ 神”）低微一點，
卻賜給他榮耀尊貴作冠冕。
6 你叫他管理你手所造的，
把萬物都放在他的腳下，
7 就是所有的牛羊、
田間的走獸、
8 空中的飛鳥、海裡的魚，
和海裡游行的水族。
9 耶和華我們的主啊！
你的名在全地是多麼威嚴。
