[To the choirmaster: according to The Gittith. A Psalm of David.] God's Glory & Man's dignity. Psalm 8לַמְנַצֵּחַ עַל־הַגִּתִּית מִזְמֹור לְדָוִד׃
1 You whose glory above the heavens is chanted
 יְהוָה אֲדֹנֵינוּ מָה־אַדִּיר שִׁמְךָ בְּכָל־הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר תְּנָה הֹודְךָ עַל־הַשָּׁמָיִם׃
2 by the mouth of babes and infants,
you have founded a bulwark because of your foes,
to still the enemy and the avenger.
 מִפִּי עֹולְלִים וְיֹנְקִים יִסַּדְתָּ עֹז לְמַעַן צֹורְרֶיךָ לְהַשְׁבִּית אֹויֵב וּמִתְנַקֵּם׃
3 When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars which you have established;
 כִּי־אֶרְאֶה שָׁמֶיךָ מַעֲשֵׂי אֶצְבְּעֹתֶיךָ יָרֵחַ וְכֹוכָבִים אֲשֶׁר כֹּונָנְתָּה׃
4 what is man that you are mindful of him,
and the son of man that you care for him?
 מָה־אֱנֹושׁ כִּי־תִזְכְּרֶנּוּ וּבֶן־אָדָם כִּי תִפְקְדֶנּוּ׃
5 Yet you have made him little less than God,
and crown him with glory and honour.
 וַתְּחַסְּרֵהוּ מְּעַט מֵאֱלֹהִים וְכָבֹוד וְהָדָר תְּעַטְּרֵהוּ׃
6 You have given him dominion over the works of your hands;
you have put all things under his feet,
 תַּמְשִׁילֵהוּ בְּמַעֲשֵׂי יָדֶיךָ כֹּל שַׁתָּה תַחַת־רַגְלָיו׃
7 all sheep and oxen,
and also the beasts of the field,
 צֹנֶה וַאֲלָפִים כֻּלָּם וְגַם בַּהֲמֹות שָׂדָי׃
8 the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea,
whatever passes along the paths of the sea.
 צִפֹּור שָׁמַיִם וּדְגֵי הַיָּם עֹבֵר אָרְחֹות יַמִּים׃
9 O Yahweh, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth.
 יְהוָה אֲדֹנֵינוּ מָה־אַדִּיר שִׁמְךָ בְּכָל־הָאָרֶץ׃

Notes: This webpage enables you to select-a-version from the Bible versions held on the katapi bible database.
The katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE is a very light revision of the RSV. The changes are: (1) In places where 'the LORD', 'O LORD' occurs in the RSV, (it represents the tetragrammaton - YHWH - which is in the hebrew text), I have printed 'YHWH' in black. The later vowel sounds I have shown in the colour gray;
(2) I have removed the quotation marks and hyphens that were used in so many names in the RSV as an aid to correct pronunciation. This now brings it in line with all other English versions, and makes any word-search more accurate.
(3) I have changed all (I hope!) of the RSV archaic language sections to modern.

The katapi New Study Bible reference section displays links to parallel passages, and to direct quotations by New Testament authors to Old Testament passages. Quotations of OT passages by NT authors can in most cases be viewed within their context of the OT passage as a whole, with the quoted text displayed, against a subdued background.
