Psalm 8
Modern English Version
Psalm 8
For the Music Director. According to The Gittith. A Psalm of David.
1 O Lord, our Lord,
how excellent is Your name in all the earth!
You have set Your glory
above the heavens.
2 Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants
You have ordained strength
because of Your enemies,
to 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 established,
4 what is man that You are mindful of him,
and the son of man that You attend to him?
5 For You have made him a little lower than the angels,
and crowned him with glory and honor.
6 You have given him dominion over the works of Your hands;
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 air,
and the fish of the sea,
and whatever travels the paths of the seas.
9 O Lord, our Lord,
how excellent is Your name in all the earth!

Salmo 8
La gloria del Señor y la dignidad del hombre
Para el director del coro; sobre Gitit. Salmo de David.
Posiblemente instrumento o melodía procedente de Gat.
8 ¡Oh Señor, Señor nuestro,
Cuán glorioso es Tu nombre en toda la tierra,
Que has desplegado Tu gloria sobre los cielos(A)!
2 Por boca de los infantes y de los niños de pecho(B) has establecido Tu fortaleza(C),
Por causa de Tus adversarios,
Para hacer cesar al enemigo y al vengativo(D).
3 ¶Cuando veo Tus cielos(E), obra de Tus dedos,
La luna y las estrellas(F) que Tú has establecido,
4 Digo: ¿Qué es el hombre para que te acuerdes de él,
Y el hijo del hombre para que lo cuides[a](G)?
5 ¡Sin embargo, lo has hecho un poco menor que los ángeles(H),
Y lo coronas(I) de gloria y majestad(J)!
6 Tú le haces señorear sobre las obras de Tus manos(K);
Todo lo has puesto bajo sus pies(L):
7 Todas las ovejas y los bueyes,
Y también las bestias del campo,
8 Las aves de los cielos y los peces del mar,
Cuanto atraviesa las sendas de los mares.
9 ¶¡Oh Señor, Señor nuestro,
Cuán glorioso es Tu nombre en toda la tierra(M)!
