Psalm 8
New Life Version
God’s Shining-Greatness
8 O Lord, our Lord, how great is Your name in all the earth. You have set Your shining-greatness above the heavens. 2 Out of the mouth of children and babies, You have built up strength because of those who hate You, and to quiet those who fight against You.
3 When I look up and think about Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have set in their place, 4 what is man, that You think of him, the son of man that You care for him? 5 You made him a little less than the angels and gave him a crown of greatness and honor. 6 You made him to rule over the works of Your hands. You put all things under his feet: 7 All sheep and cattle, all the wild animals, 8 the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, and all that pass through the sea. 9 O Lord, our Lord, how great is Your name in all the earth!

Psalm 8
King James Version
8 O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.
2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
6 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:
7 All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;
8 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.
9 O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!

Människosonens ringhet och höghet
8 För körledaren, till gittít[a]. En psalm av David.
2 (A) Herre, vår Herre,
hur härligt är inte ditt namn
över hela jorden,
du som satt ditt majestät
på himlen!
3 (B) Av barns och spädbarns mun
har du berett en makt[b]
för dina fienders skull,
för att förgöra fiende och hämnare.[c]
4 (C) När jag ser din himmel,
dina fingrars verk,
månen och stjärnorna
som du har skapat –
5 (D) vad är då en människa
att du tänker på henne,
en människoson
att du tar hand om honom?[d]
6 (E) En liten tid[e] lät du honom
vara lägre än[f] Gud,
med ära och härlighet
krönte du honom.
7 (F) Du satte honom att härska
över dina händers verk,
allt lade du under hans fötter:[g]
8 alla får och oxar
liksom vildmarkens djur,
9 himlens fåglar och havets fiskar,
de som vandrar havens vägar.
10 Herre, vår Herre,
hur härligt är inte ditt namn
över hela jorden!
