1Al direttore del coro. Sulla ghittea. Salmo di Davide. O Dio, Signore nostro, quant’è magnifico il tuo nome in tutta la terra! Tu hai posto la tua maestà nei cieli.2Dalla bocca dei bambini e dei lattanti hai tratto una forza, a causa dei tuoi nemici, per ridurre al silenzio l’avversario e il vendicatore.3Quando io considero i tuoi cieli, opera delle tue dita, la luna e le stelle che tu hai disposte,4che cos’è l’uomo perché tu lo ricordi? Il figlio dell’uomo perché te ne prenda cura?5Eppure tu lo hai fatto solo di poco inferiore a Dio[1] e lo hai coronato di gloria e d’onore.6Tu lo hai fatto dominare sulle opere delle tue mani, hai posto ogni cosa sotto i suoi piedi:7pecore e buoi tutti quanti e anche le bestie selvatiche della campagna;8gli uccelli del cielo e i pesci del mare, tutto quel che percorre i sentieri dei mari.9O Dio, Signore nostro, quant’è magnifico il tuo nome in tutta la terra!
1Dem Chorleiter. Nach der Gittit[1]. Ein Psalm. Von David. (Sal 81,1; Sal 84,1)2HERR, unser Herr, wie herrlich ist dein Name auf der ganzen Erde, der du deine Hoheit gelegt hast auf den Himmel! (Sal 57,6; Sal 148,13; Is 6,3)3Aus dem Munde der Kinder und Säuglinge hast du Macht gegründet[2] wegen deiner Bedränger, um zum Schweigen zu bringen[3] den Feind und den Rachgierigen. (Mat 21,16)4Wenn ich anschaue deinen Himmel, deiner Finger Werk, den Mond und die Sterne, die du bereitet hast: (Gen 1,1; Gen 1,14; Sal 19,2; Sal 96,5; Sal 136,5)5Was ist der Mensch, dass du seiner gedenkst, und des Menschen Sohn, dass du dich um ihn kümmerst? (Giob 7,17; Sal 144,3)6Denn du hast ihn wenig geringer gemacht als Engel[4], mit Herrlichkeit und Pracht krönst du ihn.7Du machst ihn zum Herrscher über die Werke deiner Hände; alles hast du unter seine Füße gestellt: (Gen 1,26; 1Co 15,27; Eb 2,6)8Schafe und Rinder allesamt und auch die Tiere des Feldes,9die Vögel des Himmels und die Fische des Meeres, was die Pfade der Meere durchzieht.10HERR, unser Herr, wie herrlich ist dein Name auf der ganzen Erde! (Is 63,14)
1To the choirmaster: according to The Gittith.[1] A Psalm of David. O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens. (Eso 34,5; Sal 81,1; Sal 84,1; Sal 113,4; Sal 148,13; Is 12,4)2Out of the mouth of babies and infants, you have established strength because of your foes, to still the enemy and the avenger. (Sal 44,16; Ger 16,19; Mat 11,25; Mat 21,16; 1Co 1,27)3When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, (Gen 1,16; Eso 8,19; Eso 31,18; Sal 111,2)4what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him? (Gen 8,1; Gen 21,1; Gen 50,24; Giob 7,17; Giob 25,6; Sal 65,9; Sal 80,17; Sal 144,3; Eb 2,6)5Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings[2] and crowned him with glory and honor. (Gen 1,26; Sal 21,5)6You have given him dominion over the works of your hands; you have put all things under his feet, (Gen 1,26; Gen 1,28; Mat 28,18; 1Co 15,27)7all sheep and oxen, and also the beasts of the field,8the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea, whatever passes along the paths of the seas.9O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
Salmo 8
King James Version
1To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm of David. O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.2Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.3When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;4What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?5For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.6Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:7All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;8The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.9O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
