上帝的荣耀与人的尊贵

大卫的诗,交给乐长,迦特乐器伴奏。

我们的主耶和华啊,
你的名在地上何其尊贵!
你的荣耀充满诸天。
你使孩童和婴儿的口发出颂赞,
好叫你的仇敌哑口无言。
我观看你指头创造的穹苍和你摆列的月亮星辰,
人算什么,你竟顾念他!
世人算什么,你竟眷顾他!
你叫他比天使低微一点,
赐他荣耀和尊贵作冠冕。
你派他管理你亲手造的万物,
使万物降服在他脚下:
牛羊、田野的兽、
空中的鸟、海里的鱼及其他水族。
我们的主耶和华啊,
你的名在地上何其尊贵!

上帝的榮耀與人的尊貴

大衛的詩,交給樂長,迦特樂器伴奏。

我們的主耶和華啊,
你的名在地上何其尊貴!
你的榮耀充滿諸天。
你使孩童和嬰兒的口發出頌讚,
好叫你的仇敵啞口無言。
我觀看你指頭創造的穹蒼和你擺列的月亮星辰,
人算什麼,你竟顧念他!
世人算什麼,你竟眷顧他!
你叫他比天使低微一點,
賜他榮耀和尊貴作冠冕。
你派他管理你親手造的萬物,
使萬物降服在他腳下:
牛羊、田野的獸、
空中的鳥、海裡的魚及其他水族。
我們的主耶和華啊,
你的名在地上何其尊貴!

Psalm 8[a]

For the director of music. According to gittith.[b] A psalm of David.

Lord, our Lord,
    how majestic is your name(A) in all the earth!

You have set your glory(B)
    in the heavens.(C)
Through the praise of children and infants
    you have established a stronghold(D) against your enemies,
    to silence the foe(E) and the avenger.
When I consider your heavens,(F)
    the work of your fingers,(G)
the moon and the stars,(H)
    which you have set in place,
what is mankind that you are mindful of them,
    human beings that you care for them?[c](I)

You have made them[d] a little lower than the angels[e](J)
    and crowned them[f] with glory and honor.(K)
You made them rulers(L) over the works of your hands;(M)
    you put everything under their[g] feet:(N)
all flocks and herds,(O)
    and the animals of the wild,(P)
the birds in the sky,
    and the fish in the sea,(Q)
    all that swim the paths of the seas.

Lord, our Lord,
    how majestic is your name in all the earth!(R)
