Readers’ Version

Literal Version

8 For the musical director: a song by David to be accompanied by a stringed instrument.[fn]

8Our master Yahweh, your reputation all over the earth is magnificent.

Your splendour is displayed across the sky

2for even infants and children to notice.[ref]

You have established strength because of your enemies—to put an end to the enemy and the avenger.


3When I look up at the sky, I see your handiwork

the moon and the stars that you placed there.

4How come that you even notice humankind?[fn]

Why would you even pay attention to any descendant of ours?[ref]


5You have made him a little lower than a title="מֵ,אֱלֹהִים (mē,ʼₑlohīm, R,Ncmpa)" href="../../ref/HebWrd/PSAc8v6w3.htm#Top" class="hebEl">God (or ‘gods’),

and poured splendour and majesty over him.[fn]

6You’ve established him as ruler over your creation

you’ve put him in charge of everything:[ref]

7All the sheep and cows,

as well as the animals in the countryside,

8the birds that fly and the fish in the sea

everything the moves along the ocean currents.


9Our master, Yahweh,

your magnificent reputation has spread around the whole world.


8:0 Hebrew: ‘gittit’ instrument or style.

8:4 It’s important to use singular nouns in this verse, otherwise it would fail to match the singular in the next verse.

8:5 Although this is referring directly to humankind, we’ve strived to keep this segment in the singular, as some students of these songs also see messianic implications here.
