PSALMS 8

المزمور الثامن

1  To the Chief Musician. On the instrument of Gath. A Psalm of David. O Lord, our Lord, How excellent is Your name in all the earth, Who have set Your glory above the heavens!

1  لإِمَامِ الْمُغَنِّينَ عَلَى الْجَتِّيَّةِ. مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ سَيِّدُنَا مَا أَمْجَدَ اسْمَكَ فِي كُلِّ الأَرْضِ حَيْثُ جَعَلْتَ جَلاَلَكَ فَوْقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ!

2  Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants You have ordained strength, Because of Your enemies, That You may silence the enemy and the avenger.

2  مِنْ أَفْوَاهِ الأَطْفَالِ وَالرُّضَّعِ أَسَّسْتَ حَمْداً بِسَبَبِ أَضْدَادِكَ لِتَسْكِيتِ عَدُوٍّ وَمُنْتَقِمٍ.

3  When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have ordained,

3  إِذَا أَرَى سَمَاوَاتِكَ عَمَلَ أَصَابِعِكَ الْقَمَرَ وَالنُّجُومَ الَّتِي كَوَّنْتَهَا

4  What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him?

4  فَمَنْ هُوَ الإِنْسَانُ حَتَّى تَذْكُرَهُ وَابْنُ آدَمَ حَتَّى تَفْتَقِدَهُ!

5  For You have made him a little lower than the angels, And You have crowned him with glory and honor.

5  وَتَنْقُصَهُ قَلِيلاً عَنِ الْمَلاَئِكَةِ وَبِمَجْدٍ وَبَهَاءٍ تُكَلِّلُهُ.

6  You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet,

6  تُسَلِّطُهُ عَلَى أَعْمَالِ يَدَيْكَ. جَعَلْتَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ تَحْتَ قَدَمَيْهِ.

7  All sheep and oxen-- Even the beasts of the field,

7  الْغَنَمَ وَالْبَقَرَ جَمِيعاً وَبَهَائِمَ الْبَرِّ أَيْضاً

8  The birds of the air, And the fish of the sea That pass through the paths of the seas.

8  وَطُيُورَ السَّمَاءِ وَسَمَكَ الْبَحْرِ السَّالِكَ فِي سُبُلِ الْمِيَاهِ.

9  O Lord, our Lord, How excellent is Your name in all the earth!

9  أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ سَيِّدُنَا مَا أَمْجَدَ اسْمَكَ فِي كُلِّ الأَرْضِ!
