Salme 8
Dette er Biblen på dansk
8 Til Sangmesteren. Al-haggittit. En Salme af David.
2 Herre, vor Herre, hvor herligt er dit Navn på den vide Jord du, som bredte din Højhed ud over Himlen! 3 Af spædes og diendes Mund har du rejst dig et Værn for dine Modstanderes Skyld, for at bringe til Tavshed Fjende og Hævner.
4 Når jeg ser din Himmel, dine Fingres Værk, Månen og Stjernerne, som du skabte, 5 hvad er da et Menneske, at du kommer ham i Hu, et Menneskebarn, at du tager dig af ham? 6 Du gjorde ham lidet ringere end Gud. med Ære og Herlighed kroned du ham; 7 du satte ham over dine Hænders Værk, alt lagde du under hans Fødder, 8 Småkvæg og Okser til Hobe, ja, Markens vilde Dyr, 9 Himlens Fugle og Havets Fisk, alt, hvad der farer ad Havenes Stier. 10 Herre, vor Herre, hvor herligt er dit Navn på den vide Jord!
Psalm 8
English Standard Version
How Majestic Is Your Name
To the choirmaster: according to The (A)Gittith.[a] A Psalm of David.
8 O Lord, our Lord,
how majestic is your (B)name in all the earth!
You have set your (C)glory above the heavens.
2 (D)Out of the mouth of babies and infants,
you have established (E)strength because of your foes,
to still (F)the enemy and the avenger.
3 When I (G)look at your heavens, the work of your (H)fingers,
the moon and the stars, (I)which you have set in place,
4 (J)what is man that you are (K)mindful of him,
and (L)the son of man that you (M)care for him?
5 Yet you have made him a little lower than (N)the heavenly beings[b]
and crowned him with (O)glory and honor.
6 You have given him (P)dominion over the works of your hands;
(Q)you have put all things under his feet,
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!
