Adonai Adoneinu -- O Lord, our Lord
David Loden ©1986 Psalm 8
Adonai Adoneinu ma adir shimcha bechol ha'aretz
O Lord our Lord how excellent is your name in all the earth
Asher tena hodcha al hashamayim
You have set your glory above the heavens
Mipi olelim veyonkim yisadeta oz
From the mouths of children and infants, you have ordained strengh
Lema'an tzorerecha lehashbit oyev umitnakem
because of your enemies, to silence the fool and the avenger
ki er'eh shamecha, ma'ase etzbe'otecha
When I consider your heavens, the works of your fingers
Yare'ach vechochavim asher konanta
The moon and the stars, which you have set in place
Ma enosh ki tizkerenu
What is man that you are mindful of him
uven adam ki tifkedenu
the son of man that you care for him
vetachserehu me'at me'elohim
you made him a little lower than heavenly beings
vechavod vehadar te'atrehu
and crowned him with honor and glory
Tamshilehu bema'asei yadeicha
you have made him rulers over the works of you hands
Kol shata tachat raglav tzone va'alafim kulam
you put everything under his feet, all the flocks and the herds
vegam bahamot sadai, tzipor shamayim
and also the beasts of the fields, the birds of the sky
Ud'gei hayam over orchot yamim
the fish of the sea and all that passes through the paths of the seas
