Salmos 8

For the Chief Musician; on an instrument of Gath. A Psalm by David.

1 Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!

You have set your glory above the heavens!

2 From the lips of babes and infants you have established strength,

because of your adversaries, that you might silence the enemy and the avenger.

3 When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers,

the moon and the stars, which you have ordained,

4 what is man, that you think of him?

What is the son of man, that you care for him?

5 For you have made him a little lower than the angels,*8:5 Hebrew: Elohim. The word Elohim, used here, usually means "God", but can also mean "gods", "princes", or "angels". The Septuagint reads "angels" here. See also the quote from the Septuagint in Hebrews 2:7.

and crowned him with glory and honor.

6 You make him ruler over the works of your hands.

You have put all things under his feet:

7 All sheep and cattle,

yes, and the animals of the field,

8 the birds of the sky, the fish of the sea,

and whatever passes through the paths of the seas.

9 Yahweh, our Lord,

how majestic is your name in all the earth!

Te Korōria o te Atua me te Mana o te Tangata

Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi: Kititi. He hīmene nā Rāwiri.

1 E Ihowā, e tō mātou Ariki,

anō te nui o tōu ingoa i te whenua katoa!

Pakū ana i a koe tōu korōria ki runga ake i ngā rangi!

2 Ū pū i a koe te kaha o te māngai o ngā kōhungahunga,

o ngā mea ngote ū hei mea mō ōu hoariri,

hei pēhi mō te hoariri, mō te kairapu utu.

3 Ka titiro ahau ki āu rangi,

ki te mahi a ōu maihao,

ki te marama, ki ngā whetū,

i hangā nei e koe;

4 he aha te tangata i maharatia ai e koe,

te tama rānei a te tangata i tirohia ai ia e koe?

5 Nohinohi nei te wāhi i whakaititia iho ai ia e koe i te Atua,

karaunatia ana ia e koe ki te korōria, ki te hōnore.

6 Waiho iho e koe hei kīngi mō ngā mahi a ōu ringa;

kua waiho e koe ngā mea katoa i raro i ōna waewae;

7 ngā hipi katoa, ngā pūru,

me ngā kīrehe katoa o te pārae;

8 te manu o te rangi, me te ika o te moana,

e tere nei i ngā ara o ngā moana.

9 E Ihowā, e tō mātou Ariki,

anō te nui o tōu ingoa i te whenua katoa!
