Tehillim 8 - Chapter 8 - Psalm 8

{א} לַמְנַצֵּחַ עַל הַגִּתִּית מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִד:
{ב} יְהוָה אֲדֹנֵינוּ מָה אַדִּיר שִׁמְךָ בְּכָל הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר תְּנָה הוֹדְךָ עַל הַשָּׁמָיִם:
{ג} מִפִּי עוֹלְלִים וְיֹנְקִים יִסַּדְתָּ עֹז לְמַעַן צוֹרְרֶיךָ לְהַשְׁבִּית אוֹיֵב וּמִתְנַקֵּם:
{ד} כִּי אֶרְאֶה שָׁמֶיךָ מַעֲשֵׂי אֶצְבְּעֹתֶיךָ יָרֵחַ וְכוֹכָבִים אֲשֶׁר כּוֹנָנְתָּה:
{ה} מָה אֱנוֹשׁ כִּי תִזְכְּרֶנּוּ וּבֶן אָדָם כִּי תִפְקְדֶנּוּ:
{ו} וַתְּחַסְּרֵהוּ מְּעַט מֵאֱלֹהִים וְכָבוֹד וְהָדָר תְּעַטְּרֵהוּ:
{ז} תַּמְשִׁילֵהוּ בְּמַעֲשֵׂי יָדֶיךָ כֹּל שַׁתָּה תַחַת רַגְלָיו:
{ח} צֹנֶה וַאֲלָפִים כֻּלָּם וְגַם בַּהֲמוֹת שָׂדָי:
{ט} צִפּוֹר שָׁמַיִם וּדְגֵי הַיָּם עֹבֵר אָרְחוֹת יַמִּים:
{י} יְהוָה אֲדֹנֵינוּ מָה אַדִּיר שִׁמְךָ בְּכָל הָאָרֶץ:

Tehillim 8 : Transliteration

Lamnatsêach al haguitit mizmor ledavid
Adonai Adonênu, ma adir shimchá bechol haárets, asher tena hodechá al hashamáyim
Mipi olelim veionekim yissadta oz, lemaan tsorerêcha, lehashbit oiev umitnakem
Ki er’e shamêcha maasse ets’beotêcha, iarêach vechochavim asher conanta
Ma enósh ki tizkerênu, uven adam ki tifkedenu
Vatechasserêhu meat meelohim, vechavod vehadar teaterêhu
Tamshilêhu bemaassê iadêcha, col sháta tachat raglav
Tsone vaalafim culam, vegam bahamot sadai
Tsipor shamáyim udeguê haiam, over orchót iamim
Adonai Adonênu, ma adir shimchá bechol haárets

Tehillim 8 - Tehillim translated into english

1. To the chief Musician, according to the Gittit, A Psalm of David.
2. O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth, who has set your glory above the heavens.
3. Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings you have founded strength because of your enemies, that you might still the enemy and the avenger.
4. When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have established;
5. What is man, that you are mindful of him? And the son of man, that you visit him?
6. For you have made him a little lower than the angels, and have crowned him with glory and honor.
7. You made him to have dominion over the works of your hands; you have put all things under his feet;
8. All sheep and oxen, and the beasts of the field;
9. The bird of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatever passes through the paths of the seas.
10. O Lord our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!

Tehillim 8 : Significance

For a child who is crying, To Find Favor in the eyes of others

Description / commentaries - Tehillim 8

This psalm is a glorious praise to God for His kindness to the lowly and mortal human in giving the Torah to the inhabitants of the lower worlds, arousing the envy of the celestial angels. This idea is expressed in the Yom Kippur prayer, “Though Your mighty strength is in the angels above, You desire praise from those formed of lowly matter.”
