Psalm 8 | New International Reader’s Version

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

1 LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in the whole earth! You have set your glory in the heavens.

2 You have made sure that children and infants praise you. Their praise is a wall that stops the talk of your enemies.

3 I think about the heavens. I think about what your fingers have created. I think about the moon and stars that you have set in place.

4 What are human beings that you think about them? What is a son of man that you take care of him?

5 You have made them a little lower than the angels. You placed on them a crown of glory and honour.

6 You made human beings rule over everything your hands created. You put everything under their control.

7 They rule over all flocks and herds and over the wild animals.

8 They rule over the birds in the sky and over the fish in the ocean. They rule over everything that swims in the oceans.

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

8. Mezmur

Müzik şefi için - Gittit üzerine - Davut'un mezmuru

1 * Ey Egemenimiz RAB, Ne yüce adın var yeryüzünün tümünde! Gökyüzünü görkeminle kapladın.

2 Çocukların, hatta emziktekilerin sesiyle Set çektin hasımlarına, Düşmanı, öç alanı yok etmek için.

3 Seyrederken ellerinin eseri olan gökleri, Oraya koyduğun ayı ve yıldızları,

4 Soruyorum kendi kendime: ‹‹İnsan ne ki, onu anasın, Ya da insanoğlu ne ki, ona ilgi gösteresin?››

5 Nerdeyse bir tanrı yaptın onu*, Başına yücelik ve onur tacını koydun.

6 Ellerinin yapıtları üzerine onu egemen kıldın, Her şeyi ayaklarının altına serdin;

7 Davarları, sığırları, Yabanıl hayvanları,

8 Gökteki kuşları, denizdeki balıkları, Denizde kıpırdaşan bütün canlıları.

9 Ey Egemenimiz RAB, Ne yüce adın var yeryüzünün tümünde!
