Psalm 8
Authorized (King James) Version
Psalm 8
To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm of David.
1 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!

Reina Valera Contemporánea
La gloria de Dios y la honra del hombre
Al músico principal. Sobre Gitit. Salmo de David.
8 Señor y Dios nuestro,
¡cuán glorioso es tu nombre en toda la tierra!
¡Has puesto tu gloria sobre los cielos!
2 Las alabanzas de los niños de pecho(A)
son tu mejor defensa contra tus enemigos;
ellas silencian a tus vengativos adversarios.
3 Cuando contemplo el cielo, obra de tus dedos,
y la luna y las estrellas que has creado,
4 me pregunto:
¿Qué es el ser humano, para que en él pienses?
¿Qué es la humanidad, para que la tomes en cuenta?(B)
5 Hiciste al hombre poco menor que un dios,
y lo colmaste de gloria y de honra.
6 ¡Lo has hecho señor de las obras de tus manos!
¡todo lo has puesto debajo de sus pies!(C)
7 ¡Todas las ovejas y todos los toros!
¡Todos los animales del bosque!
8 ¡Las aves en el cielo y los peces en el mar!
¡Todo lo que surca las profundidades del mar!
9 Señor y Dios nuestro,
¡cuán glorioso es tu nombre en toda la tierra!
