Psalms 8

NEW JERUSALEM	NOVA VULGATA
1 [For the choirmaster On the . . . of Gath Psalm Of David] Yahweh our Lord, how majestic is your namethroughout the world! Whoever keeps singing of your majesty higher than the heavens,	1 Magistro chori. Ad modum cantici " Torcularia... ". Psalmus.David.
2 even through the mouths of children, or of babes in arms, you make him a fortress, firm against yourfoes, to subdue the enemy and the rebel.	2 Domine, Dominus noster, quam admirabile est nomen tuum in universa terra, quoniam elevata est magnificentia tua super caelos.
3 I look up at your heavens, shaped by your fingers, at the moon and the stars you set firm-	3 Ex ore infantium et lactantium perfecisti laudem propter inimicos tuos, ut destruas inimicum et ultorem.
4 what are human beings that you spare a thought for them, or the child of Adam that you care for him?	4 Quando video caelos tuos, opera digitorum tuorum, lunam et stellas, quae tu fundasti,
5 Yet you have made him little less than a god, you have crowned him with glory and beauty,	5 quid est homo, quod memor es eius, aut filius hominis, quoniam visitas eum?
6 made him lord of the works of your hands, put al things under his feet,	6 Minuisti eum paulo minus ab angelis, gloria et honore coronasti eum
7 sheep and cattle, all of them, and even the wild beasts,	7 et constituisti eum super opera manuum tuarum. Omnia subiecisti sub pedibus eius:
8 birds in the sky, fish in the sea, when he makes his way across the ocean.	8 oves et boves universas, insuper et pecora campi,
9 Yahweh our Lord, how majestic your name throughout the world!	9 volucres caeli et pisces maris, quaecumque perambulant semitas maris.
	10 Domine, Dominus noster, quam admirabile est nomen tuum in universa terra!
