Psalm 8
New International Version
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)

Salme 8
Dette er Biblen på dansk
8 Til Sangmesteren. Al-haggittit. En Salme af David.
2 Herre, vor Herre, hvor herligt er dit Navn på den vide Jord du, som bredte din Højhed ud over Himlen! 3 Af spædes og diendes Mund har du rejst dig et Værn for dine Modstanderes Skyld, for at bringe til Tavshed Fjende og Hævner.
4 Når jeg ser din Himmel, dine Fingres Værk, Månen og Stjernerne, som du skabte, 5 hvad er da et Menneske, at du kommer ham i Hu, et Menneskebarn, at du tager dig af ham? 6 Du gjorde ham lidet ringere end Gud. med Ære og Herlighed kroned du ham; 7 du satte ham over dine Hænders Værk, alt lagde du under hans Fødder, 8 Småkvæg og Okser til Hobe, ja, Markens vilde Dyr, 9 Himlens Fugle og Havets Fisk, alt, hvad der farer ad Havenes Stier. 10 Herre, vor Herre, hvor herligt er dit Navn på den vide Jord!
