Psalms 8 — 4 originals side by side

Versification differs between traditions. Columns are aligned by verse number; where a text has no such verse the cell is left blank rather than forced into line. Tap any word for a gloss.

⚠️ The Chinese and English alongside are the CUV and the WEB, both translated from the Masoretic Text; they follow a different textual tradition from the Greek and Latin shown here and will disagree in places.
ℹ️ Some verses here have no matching verse in the public-domain translations (the Psalm superscriptions are not numbered verses in the CUV or the WEB). Those verses were translated by this site with AI (Claude), not taken from the WEB.

8:1
יְהֹוָ֤ה אֲדֹנֵ֗ינוּ מָה־אַדִּ֣יר שִׁ֭מְךָ בְּכׇל־הָאָ֑רֶץ אֲשֶׁ֥ר תְּנָ֥ה ה֝וֹדְךָ֗ עַל־הַשָּׁמָֽיִם׃
κύριε ὁ κύριος ἡμῶν ὡς θαυμαστὸν τὸ ὄνομά σου ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ ὅτι ἐπήρθη ἡ μεγαλοπρέπειά σου ὑπεράνω τῶν οὐρανῶν
Domine, Dominus noster, quam admirabile est nomen tuum in universa terra ! quoniam elevata est magnificentia tua super caelos.
ፍጻሜ ፡ በእንተ ፡ መክብብት ፤ መዝሙር ፡ ዘዳዊት ። እግዚኦ ፡ እግዚእነ ፡ ጥቀ ፡ ተሰብሐ ፡ ስምክ ፡ በኵሉ ፡ ምድር ፤
Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens!
8:2
מִפִּ֤י עוֹלְלִ֨ים׀ וְֽיֹנְקִים֮ יִסַּ֢דְתָּ֫ עֹ֥ז לְמַ֥עַן צוֹרְרֶ֑יךָ לְהַשְׁבִּ֥ית א֝וֹיֵ֗ב וּמִתְנַקֵּֽם׃
ἐκ στόματος νηπίων καὶ θηλαζόντων κατηρτίσω αἶνον ἕνεκα τῶν ἐχθρῶν σου τοῦ καταλῦσαι ἐχθρὸν καὶ ἐκδικητήν
Ex ore infantium et lactentium perfecisti laudem propter inimicos tuos, ut destruas inimicum et ultorem.
እስመ ፡ ተለዐለ ፡ እበየ ፡ ስብሓቲከ ፡ መልዕልተ ፡ ሰማያት ።
From the lips of babes and infants you have established strength, because of your adversaries, that you might silence the enemy and the avenger.
8:3
כִּֽי־אֶרְאֶ֣ה שָׁ֭מֶיךָ מַעֲשֵׂ֣ה אֶצְבְּעֹתֶ֑יךָ יָרֵ֥חַ וְ֝כוֹכָבִ֗ים אֲשֶׁ֣ר כּוֹנָֽנְתָּה׃
ὅτι ὄψομαι τοὺς οὐρανούς ἔργα τῶν δακτύλων σου σελήνην καὶ ἀστέρας ἃ σὺ ἐθεμελίωσας
Quoniam videbo caelos tuos, opera digitorum tuorum, lunam et stellas quae tu fundasti.
እምአፈ ፡ ደቂቅ ፡ ወሕፃናት ፡ አስተዳሉከ ፡ ስብሐተ ፡ በእንተ ፡ ጸላኢ ፤ ከመ ፡ ትንሥቶ ፡ ለጸላኢ ፡ ወለገፋዒ ።
When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have ordained,
8:4
מָה־אֱנ֥וֹשׁ כִּֽי־תִזְכְּרֶ֑נּוּ וּבֶן־אָ֝דָ֗ם כִּ֣י תִפְקְדֶֽנּוּ׃
τί ἐστιν ἄνθρωπος ὅτι μιμνῄσκῃ αὐτοῦ ἢ υἱὸς ἀνθρώπου ὅτι ἐπισκέπτῃ αὐτόν
Quid est homo, quod memor es ejus ? aut filius hominis, quoniam visitas eum ?
እስመ ፡ ንሬኢ ፡ ሰማያተ ፡ ግብረ ፡ አጻብዒከ ፤ ወርኀ ፡ ወከዋክብተ ፡ ዘለሊከ ፡ ሳረርከ ።
what is man, that you think of him? What is the son of man, that you care for him?
8:5
וַתְּחַסְּרֵ֣הוּ מְּ֭עַט מֵאֱלֹהִ֑ים וְכָב֖וֹד וְהָדָ֣ר תְּעַטְּרֵֽהוּ׃
ἠλάττωσας αὐτὸν βραχύ τι παρ’ ἀγγέλους δόξῃ καὶ τιμῇ ἐστεφάνωσας αὐτόν
Minuisti eum paulominus ab angelis ; gloria et honore coronasti eum ;
ምንትኑ ፡ ውእቱ ፡ ሰብእ ፡ ከመ ፡ ትዝክሮ ፤ ወምንትኑ ፡ እጓለ ፡ እመሕያው ፡ ከመ ፡ ተሐውጾ ።
For you have made him a little lower than the angels, and crowned him with glory and honor.
8:6
תַּ֭מְשִׁילֵהוּ בְּמַעֲשֵׂ֣י יָדֶ֑יךָ כֹּ֝֗ל שַׁ֣תָּה תַֽחַת־רַגְלָֽיו׃
καὶ κατέστησας αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὰ ἔργα τῶν χειρῶν σου πάντα ὑπέταξας ὑποκάτω τῶν ποδῶν αὐτοῦ
et constituisti eum super opera manuum tuarum.
ሕቀ ፡ አሕጸጽኮ ፡ እምላእክቲከ ፤ ክብረ ፡ ወስብሐተ ፡ ከለልኮ ። ወሢምኮ ፡ ዲበ ፡ ኵሉ ፡ ግብረ ፡ እደዊከ ፤
You make him ruler over the works of your hands. You have put all things under his feet:
8:7
צֹנֶ֣ה וַאֲלָפִ֣ים כֻּלָּ֑ם וְ֝גַ֗ם בַּהֲמ֥וֹת שָׂדָֽי׃
πρόβατα καὶ βόας πάσας ἔτι δὲ καὶ τὰ κτήνη τοῦ πεδίου
Omnia subjecisti sub pedibus ejus, oves et boves universas, insuper et pecora campi,
ወኵሎ ፡ አግረርከ ፡ ሎቱ ፡ ታሕተ ፡ እገሪሁ ። አባግዐኒ ፡ ወኵሎ ፡ አልህምተ ፤ ወዓዲ ፡ እንስሳ ፡ ዘገዳም ።
All sheep and cattle, yes, and the animals of the field,
8:8
צִפּ֣וֹר שָׁ֭מַיִם וּדְגֵ֣י הַיָּ֑ם עֹ֝בֵ֗ר אׇרְח֥וֹת יַמִּֽים׃
τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ τοὺς ἰχθύας τῆς θαλάσσης τὰ διαπορευόμενα τρίβους θαλασσῶν
volucres caeli, et pisces maris qui perambulant semitas maris.
አዕዋፈ ፡ ሰማይኒ ፡ ወዐሣተ ፡ ባሕር ፤ ወዘኒ ፡ የሐውር ፡ ውስተ ፡ ፍኖተ ፡ ባሕር ።
the birds of the sky, the fish of the sea, and whatever passes through the paths of the seas.
8:9
יְהֹוָ֥ה אֲדֹנֵ֑ינוּ מָה־אַדִּ֥יר שִׁ֝מְךָ֗ בְּכׇל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ {פ}
κύριε ὁ κύριος ἡμῶν ὡς θαυμαστὸν τὸ ὄνομά σου ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ
Domine, Dominus noster, quam admirabile est nomen tuum in universa terra !
እግዚኦ ፡ እግዚእነ ፡ ጥቀ ፡ ተሰብሐ ፡ ስምከ ፡ በኵሉ ፡ ምድር ።
Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
