Gloria di Dio nella creazione

1 Al 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. 

2 Dalla bocca dei bambini e dei lattanti hai tratto una forza, a causa dei tuoi nemici, per ridurre al silenzio l’avversario e il vendicatore. 

3 Quando io considero i tuoi cieli, opera delle tue dita, la luna e le stelle che tu hai disposte, 

4 che cos’è l’uomo perché tu lo ricordi? Il figlio dell’uomo perché te ne prenda cura? 

5 Eppure tu lo hai fatto solo di poco inferiore a Dio e lo hai coronato di gloria e d’onore. 

6 Tu lo hai fatto dominare sulle opere delle tue mani, hai posto ogni cosa sotto i suoi piedi: 

7 pecore e buoi tutti quanti e anche le bestie selvatiche della campagna; 

8 gli uccelli del cielo e i pesci del mare, tutto quel che percorre i sentieri dei mari. 

9 O Dio, Signore nostro, quant’è magnifico il tuo nome in tutta la terra!

How Majestic Is Your Name

To the choirmaster: according to The Gittith. A Psalm of David.

1 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 113,4; Sal 148,13; Is 12,4) 

2 Out 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) 

3 When 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) 

4 what 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) 

5 Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor. (Gen 1,26; Sal 21,5) 

6 You 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) 

7 all sheep and oxen, and also the beasts of the field, 

8 the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea, whatever passes along the paths of the seas. 

9 O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
