Psalm 8[a]
For the director of music. According to gittith.[b] A psalm of David.
1 Lord, our Lord,
    how majestic is your name(A) in all the earth!
You have set your glory(B)
    in the heavens.(C)
2 Through the praise of children and infants
    you have established a stronghold(D) against your enemies,
    to silence the foe(E) and the avenger.
3 When I consider your heavens,(F)
    the work of your fingers,(G)
the moon and the stars,(H)
    which you have set in place,
4 what is mankind that you are mindful of them,
    human beings that you care for them?[c](I)
5 You have made them[d] a little lower than the angels[e](J)
    and crowned them[f] with glory and honor.(K)
6 You made them rulers(L) over the works of your hands;(M)
    you put everything under their[g] feet:(N)
7 all flocks and herds,(O)
    and the animals of the wild,(P)
8 the birds in the sky,
    and the fish in the sea,(Q)
    all that swim the paths of the seas.
9 Lord, our Lord,
    how majestic is your name in all the earth!(R)

Salmos 8
O Livro
Salmo de David. Para o diretor do coro.
8 Ó Senhor, nosso Deus, como é admirável a grandeza
que o teu nome tem sobre toda a Terra!
Estabeleceste o teu esplendor acima dos céus.
2 Da boca dos pequenos e das criancinhas de peito,
levantaste uma fortaleza, por causa dos teus inimigos,
para fazer calar todo aquele que se opõe a ti.
3 Quando de noite contemplo os céus
e vejo a obra dos teus dedos,
a Lua e as estrelas que fizeste, pergunto:
4 Que é o homem,
para que te preocupes com ele?
E quem é o filho do homem,
para que te lembres dele?
5 Apesar disso, fizeste-o um pouco menor do que Deus[a],
e coroaste-o de honra e glória.
6 Deste-lhe domínio sobre aquilo que criaste.
Puseste tudo sob os seus pés:
7 ovelhas, bois, animais selvagens;
8 pássaros, peixes e tudo o que tem vida nos mares.
9 Ó Senhor, nosso Deus,
como é admirável a grandeza
que o teu nome tem sobre toda a Terra!
Psalm 8
English Standard Version
How Majestic Is Your Name
To the choirmaster: according to The (A)Gittith.[a] A Psalm of David.
8 O Lord, our Lord,
    how majestic is your (B)name in all the earth!
You have set your (C)glory above the heavens.
2     (D)Out of the mouth of babies and infants,
you have established (E)strength because of your foes,
    to still (F)the enemy and the avenger.
3 When I (G)look at your heavens, the work of your (H)fingers,
    the moon and the stars, (I)which you have set in place,
4 (J)what is man that you are (K)mindful of him,
    and (L)the son of man that you (M)care for him?
5 Yet you have made him a little lower than (N)the heavenly beings[b]
    and crowned him with (O)glory and honor.
6 You have given him (P)dominion over the works of your hands;
    (Q)you have put all things under his feet,
7 all sheep and oxen,
    and also the beasts of the field,
8 the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea,
    whatever passes along the paths of the seas.
9 O Lord, 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!
