←Prev   Psalms 8 as rendered by/in  Next→ 



8:1  (For the one directing. According to the gittit. Mizmor of Dovid). Hashem Adoneinu, how excellent is Shimecha in kol ha’aretz Who hast set Thy glory above HaShomayim.
8:2  Out of the mouth of olelim and infants hast Thou established strength because of Thine enemies, that Thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
8:3  When I consider Thy heavens, the ma’asim of Thy fingers, the yarei’ach and the kokhavim, which Thou hast ordained;
8:4  What is enosh (mankind), that Thou art mindful of him? And the ben adam, that Thou visitest him?
8:5  For Thou hast made him a little lower than elohim [or Elohim, Gn 1:27], and hast crowned him with kavod and hadar.
8:6  Thou madest him to have dominion over the ma’asim of Thy hands; Thou hast put all things under his feet:
8:7  All sheep and oxen, yea, and the behemot sadeh;
8:8  The fowl of the air, and the dag (fish) of the yam, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.
8:9  Hashem Adoneinu, how excellent is Shimecha in kol ha’aretz!
