PSALM 8
Gottes Herrlichkeit in der Schöpfung
8 Dem Vorsänger. Auf der Gittit. Ein Psalm Davids.
2 Herr, unser Herrscher,
wie herrlich ist dein Name auf der ganzen Erde,
daß dein Lob bis zum Himmel reicht!
3 Aus dem Munde von Kindern und Säuglingen
hast du eine Macht zugerichtet, um deiner Feinde willen,
um den Feind und den Rachgierigen zum Schweigen zu bringen.
4 Wenn ich deinen Himmel betrachte, das Werk deiner Finger,
den Mond und die Sterne, die du gemacht hast:
5 Was ist der Mensch, daß du seiner gedenkst,
und des Menschen Sohn, daß du auf ihn achtest[a]?
6 Du hast ihn ein wenig Gottes[b] entbehren lassen;
aber mit Ehre und Schmuck hast du ihn gekrönt;
7 Du lässest ihn herrschen über die Werke deiner Hände;
alles hast du unter seine Füße gelegt[c]:
8 Schafe und Ochsen allzumal,
dazu auch die wilden Tiere;
9 die Vögel des Himmels und die Fische im Meer,
was die Pfade der Meere durchzieht. -
10 Herr, unser Herrscher,
wie herrlich ist dein Name auf der ganzen Erde!

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)

Psalm 8
American Standard Version
Jehovah’s glory and man’s dignity.
For the Chief Musician; set to the Gittith. A Psalm of David.
8 O Jehovah, our Lord, How excellent is thy name in all the earth,
Who hast set thy glory [a]upon the heavens!
2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou established strength,
Because of thine adversaries,
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 but little lower than [b]God,
And crownest him with glory and honor.
6 Thou makest 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 birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea,
Whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.
9 O Jehovah, our Lord,
How excellent is thy name in all the earth!
