8:1 （大衛的詩，交與伶長。用迦特樂器。）耶和華─我們的主啊，你的名在全地何其美！你將你的榮耀彰顯於天。
8:2 你因敵人的緣故，從嬰孩和吃奶的口中，建立了能力，使仇敵和報仇的閉口無言。
8:3 我觀看你指頭所造的天，並你所陳設的月亮星宿，
8:4 便說：人算甚麼，你竟顧念他？世人算甚麼，你竟眷顧他？
8:5 你叫他比天使（或譯：上帝）微小一點，並賜他榮耀尊貴為冠冕。
8:6 你派他管理你手所造的，使萬物，就是一切的牛羊、田野的獸、空中的鳥、海裡的魚，凡經行海道的，都服在他的腳下。

For the director of music. According to gittith.[b] A psalm of
David.
1 Lord, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!
how majestic is your name in all the earth!
You
have set your glory
in the heavens.
2 Through the praise of children and infants
you have established a stronghold against your enemies,
to silence the foe and the avenger.
3 When I consider your heavens,
the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars,
which you have set in place,
4 what is mankind that you are mindful of them,
human beings that you care for them?[c]
in the heavens.

5 You
have made them[d] a little
lower than the angels[e]
and crowned them[f] with glory and honor.
6 You made them rulers over the works of your hands;
you put everything under their[g] feet:
7 all flocks and herds,
and the animals of the wild,
8 the birds in the sky,
and the fish in the sea,
all that swim the paths of the seas.
and crowned them[f] with glory and honor.

上帝在造人的時候說：「我們要照著我們的形像、按著我們的樣式造人，使他們管理海裡的魚、空中的鳥、地上的牲畜，和全地，並地上所爬的一切昆蟲。」上帝就照著自己的形像造人，乃是照著他的形像造男造女。上帝就賜福給他們，又對他們說：「要生養眾多，遍滿地面，治理這地，也要管理海裡的魚、空中的鳥，和地上各樣行動的活物。」(創世記1:26-28)
表示上帝要透過祂所造的人，將祂的榮光充滿在祂所創造的天地之間！所以，詩人會在這裡頌讚上帝：「耶和華─我們的主啊，你的名在全地何其美！你將你的榮耀彰顯於天。」
而詩人在此也歌頌上帝透過人彰顯祂的榮耀：「人算甚麼，你竟顧念他？世人算甚麼，你竟眷顧他？你叫他比天使（或譯：上帝）微小一點，並賜他榮耀尊貴為冠冕。你派他管理你手所造的，使萬物，就是一切的牛羊、田野的獸、空中的鳥、海裡的魚，凡經行海道的，都服在他的腳下。」
這也告訴我們，人的尊榮不是自己努力做甚麼而得著，而是上帝主動的做為，是祂自己將榮耀賦予人，這是何等的慈愛與憐憫！
