psalm 8 remixed

A targum of Psalm 8:

1. Yahweh our Master!
   Your Name is priceless throughout the universe!
   Your glory is unsearchable and inscrutable
   and utterly beyond our capability to measure.
2. Even the smallest and inexperienced ones; yes – babies
   they praise you – just as you wanted
   all this is like ignorant and inane babbling to those who hate you,
   yet this incoherent baby-noise completely silences sinners and evil-doers.
3. When I ponder the chaotic-order of the cosmos,
   the mechanics of your workshop,
   whether multiple distant galaxies or single stars,
   knowing you plan and place them all,
4. I wonder why you bother thinking of mere humans,
   or why you concern yourself with homosapiens?
5. But – no other thing you’ve created comes as close to your divine greatness,
   potential and power, reason and rhyme; you gave it – we have it.
6. Everything that you’ve created, we are now responsible for;
   under God and over creation:
7. …over the lions and llamas,
   and every land-dwelling animal,
8. …over every single thing that flies in the air,
   and every thing in fresh-water or salt-water,
   indeed – every kind of ocean-floor crawling and swimming thing.
9. Yahweh our Master!
   Your Name is priceless throughout the universe!
