1 To the chief music-maker on the Gittith. A Psalm. Of David. 2 \8:1\O Lord, our Lord, whose glory is higher than the heavens, how noble is your name in all the earth!3 \8:2\You have made clear your strength even out of the mouths of babies at the breast, because of those who are against you; so that you may put to shame the cruel and violent man.4 \8:3\When I see your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have put in their places;5 \8:4\What is man, that you keep him in mind? the son of man, that you take him into account?6 \8:5\For you have made him only a little lower than the gods, crowning him with glory and honour.7 \8:6\You have made him ruler over the works of your hands; you have put all things under his feet;8 \8:7\All sheep and oxen, and all the beasts of the field;9 \8:8\The birds of the air and the fish of the sea, and whatever goes through the deep waters of the seas.10 \8:9\O Lord, our Lord, how noble is your name in all the earth!

1 Vir die musiekleier; op die Gittiet. 'n Psalm van Dawid.2 o HERE, onse Here, hoe heerlik is u Naam op die ganse aarde! U wat u majesteit gelê het op die hemele.3 Uit die mond van kinders en suiglinge het U sterkte gegrondves, om u teëstanders ontwil, om die vyand en wraakgierige stil te maak.4 As ek u hemel aanskou, die werk van u vingers, die maan en die sterre wat U toeberei het --5 wat is die mens dat U aan hom dink, en die mensekind dat U hom besoek?6 U het hom 'n weinig minder gemaak as 'n goddelike wese en hom met eer en heerlikheid gekroon.7 U laat hom heers oor die werke van u hande; U het alles onder sy voete gestel:8 skape en beeste, die almal, en ook die diere van die veld,9 die voëls van die hemel en die visse van die see, wat trek deur die paaie van die see. [ (Psalms 8:10) o HERE, onse Here, hoe heerlik is u Naam op die ganse aarde! ]
