시편 8

개요

하나님의 영광이 하늘에 나타난 것을 묵상하는 창조 시편이다. 하나님이 이 연약한 인간을 기억하시느냐고 경이로워하면서도 인간이 하나님의 형상으로 창조되어 모든 피조물을 다스리는 영광스러운 존재임을 선언한다. 「주의 이름이 온 땅에 어찌 그리 아름다운지요」라는 후렴이 시를 감싼다.

Full Text

1 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!
