PSALM 008


PSALM 8

O ADONAI, Creator, how glorious is your name over all creation 

 Domine, Dominus noster, quam admirabile est nomen tuum in universa terra! 

VUC  Psalm 8:1 In finem, pro torcularibus. Psalmus David.

DRA  Psalm 8:1 Unto the end, for the presses: a psalm of David.

2 Domine, Dominus noster, quam admirabile est nomen tuum in universa terra! quoniam elevata est magnificentia tua super caelos

2 O Lord our Lord, how admirable is thy name in the whole earth! For thy magnificence is elevated above the heavens.

.

 3 Ex ore infantium et lactentium perfecisti laudem propter inimicos tuos, ut destruas inimicum et ultorem.

 4 Quoniam videbo caelos tuos, opera digitorum tuorum, lunam et stellas quae tu fundasti.

 5 Quid est homo, quod memor es ejus? aut filius hominis, quoniam visitas eum?

 6 Minuisti eum paulominus ab angelis; gloria et honore coronasti eum;

 7 et constituisti eum super opera manuum tuarum.

 8 Omnia subjecisti sub pedibus ejus, oves et boves universas, insuper et pecora campi,

 9 volucres caeli, et pisces maris qui perambulant semitas maris.

 10 Domine, Dominus noster, quam admirabile est nomen tuum in universa terra!

 

3 Out of the mouth of infants and of sucklings thou hast perfected praise, because of thy enemies, that thou mayst destroy the enemy and the avenger.

 4 For I will behold thy heavens, the works of thy fingers: the moon and the stars which thou hast founded.

 5 What is man that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man that thou visitest hi?

 6 Thou hast made him a little less than the angels, thou hast crowned him with glory and honour:

 7 And hast set him over the works of thy hands.

 8 Thou hast subjected all things under his feet, all sheep and oxen: moreover the beasts also of the fields.

 9 The birds of the air, and the fishes of the sea, that pass through the paths of the sea.

 10 O Lord our Lord, how admirable is thy name in all the earth!
