Psaume 8

La Bible du Semeur



1 Au chef de chœur. Un psaume de David, (à chanter avec accompagnement) de la harpe de Gath[1]. (Ps 81:1; Ps 84:1) 2 Eternel, notre Seigneur, que ta gloire est admirable ╵sur la terre tout entière! Au-dessus du ciel, ╵on célèbre ta splendeur[2]. 3 De la bouche des petits enfants ╵et des nourrissons, tu fais jaillir la louange[3] ╵à l’encontre de tes adversaires, pour imposer le silence ╵à l’ennemi plein de hargne. (Mt 21:16) 4 Quand je contemple le ciel ╵que tes doigts ont façonné, les étoiles et la lune ╵que tes mains ont disposées, 5 je me dis: Qu’est-ce que l’homme, ╵pour que tu en prennes soin, et qu’est-ce qu’un être humain ╵pour qu’à lui tu t’intéresses[4]? (Jb 7:17; Ps 144:3; 1Co 15:27; Ep 1:22; He 2:6) 6 Pourtant, tu l’as fait ╵de peu inférieur à Dieu[5], tu l’as couronné ╵de gloire et d’honneur. 7 Tu lui donnes de régner ╵sur les œuvres de tes mains. Tu as tout mis sous ses pieds: 8 tout bétail, gros ou petit, et les animaux sauvages, 9 tous les oiseaux dans les airs ╵et les poissons de la mer, tous les êtres qui parcourent ╵les sentiers des mers. 10 Eternel, notre Seigneur, que ta gloire est admirable ╵sur la terre tout entière.

Psaume 8

English Standard Version



1 To the choirmaster: according to The Gittith.[1] A Psalm of David. O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens. (Ex 34:5; Ps 81:1; Ps 84:1; Ps 113:4; Ps 148:13; Is 12:4) 2 Out of the mouth of babies and infants, you have established strength because of your foes, to still the enemy and the avenger. (Ps 44:16; Jr 16:19; Mt 11:25; Mt 21:16; 1Co 1:27) 3 When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, (Gn 1:16; Ex 8:19; Ex 31:18; Ps 111:2) 4 what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him? (Gn 8:1; Gn 21:1; Gn 50:24; Jb 7:17; Jb 25:6; Ps 65:9; Ps 80:17; Ps 144:3; He 2:6) 5 Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings[2] and crowned him with glory and honor. (Gn 1:26; Ps 21:5) 6 You have given him dominion over the works of your hands; you have put all things under his feet, (Gn 1:26; Gn 1:28; Mt 28:18; 1Co 15:27) 7 all sheep and oxen, and also the beasts of the field, 8 the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea, whatever passes along the paths of the seas. 9 O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
