8 Til söngstjórans. Á gittít. Davíðssálmur.
2 Drottinn, Guð vor, hversu dýrlegt er nafn þitt um alla jörðina! Þú breiðir ljóma þinn yfir himininn.
3 Af munni barna og brjóstmylkinga hefir þú gjört þér vígi til varnar gegn óvinum þínum, til þess að þagga niður í hefndargirni óvinarins.
4 Þegar ég horfi á himininn, verk handa þinna, tunglið og stjörnurnar, er þú hefir skapað,
5 hvað er þá maðurinn þess, að þú minnist hans, og mannsins barn, að þú vitjir þess?
6 Þú lést hann verða litlu minni en Guð, með sæmd og heiðri krýndir þú hann.
7 Þú lést hann ríkja yfir handaverkum þínum, allt lagðir þú að fótum hans:
8 sauðfénað allan og uxa, og auk þess dýr merkurinnar,
9 fugla loftsins og fiska hafsins, allt það er fer hafsins vegu.
10 Drottinn, Guð vor, hversu dýrlegt er nafn þitt um alla jörðina!

Psalm 8[a]
For the director of music. According to gittith.[b] A psalm of David.
1 Lord, our Lord,
how majestic is your name(A) in all the earth!
You have set your glory(B)
in the heavens.(C)
2 Through the praise of children and infants
you have established a stronghold(D) against your enemies,
to silence the foe(E) and the avenger.
3 When I consider your heavens,(F)
the work of your fingers,(G)
the moon and the stars,(H)
which you have set in place,
4 what is mankind that you are mindful of them,
human beings that you care for them?[c](I)
5 You have made them[d] a little lower than the angels[e](J)
and crowned them[f] with glory and honor.(K)
6 You made them rulers(L) over the works of your hands;(M)
you put everything under their[g] feet:(N)
7 all flocks and herds,(O)
and the animals of the wild,(P)
8 the birds in the sky,
and the fish in the sea,(Q)
all that swim the paths of the seas.
9 Lord, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!(R)

Psalm 8
King James Version
8 O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.
2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
6 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:
7 All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;
8 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.
9 O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
