Psalms 8

Unto the end, for the presses: a psalm for David.

In finem, pro torcularibus. Psalmus David.

εἰς τὸ τέλος ὑπὲρ τῶν ληνῶν ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυιδ

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

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

κύριε ὁ κύριος ἡμῶν ὡς θαυμαστὸν τὸ ὄνομά σου ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ ὅτι ἐπήρθη ἡ μεγαλοπρέπειά σου ὑπεράνω τῶν οὐρανῶν

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.

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

ἐκ στόματος νηπίων καὶ θηλαζόντων κατηρτίσω αἶνον ἕνεκα τῶν ἐχθρῶν σου τοῦ καταλῦσαι ἐχθρὸν καὶ ἐκδικητήν

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

Quoniam videbo cælos tuos, opera digitorum tuorum, lunam et stellas quæ tu fundasti.

ὅτι ὄψομαι τοὺς οὐρανούς ἔργα τῶν δακτύλων σου σελήνην καὶ ἀστέρας ἃ σὺ ἐθεμελίωσας

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

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

τί ἐστιν ἄνθρωπος ὅτι μιμνῄσκῃ αὐτοῦ ἢ υἱὸς ἀνθρώπου ὅτι ἐπισκέπτῃ αὐτόν

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

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

ἠλάττωσας αὐτὸν βραχύ τι παρ' ἀγγέλους δόξῃ καὶ τιμῇ ἐστεφάνωσας αὐτόν

And hast set him over the works of thy hands.

et constituisti eum super opera manuum tuarum.

καὶ κατέστησας αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὰ ἔργα τῶν χειρῶν σου πάντα ὑπέταξας ὑποκάτω τῶν ποδῶν αὐτοῦ

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

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

πρόβατα καὶ βόας πάσας ἔτι δὲ καὶ τὰ κτήνη τοῦ πεδίου

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

volucres cæli, et pisces maris qui perambulant semitas maris.

τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ τοὺς ἰχθύας τῆς θαλάσσης τὰ διαπορευόμενα τρίβους θαλασσῶν

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

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

κύριε ὁ κύριος ἡμῶν ὡς θαυμαστὸν τὸ ὄνομά σου ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ
