Masalimo 8

1 Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Pa gititi. Salimo la Davide. Inu Yehova Ambuye athu, dzina lanu ndi la lamphamvudi pa dziko lonse lapansi! Inu mwakhazikitsa ulemerero wanu mʼmayiko onse akumwamba.

[For the Chief Musician; on an instrument of Gath. A Psalm by David.] Jehovah, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth. You have put your glory upon the heavens.

2 Kuchokera mʼkamwa mwa ana ndi makanda, Inu mwakhazikitsa mphamvu chifukwa cha adani anu, kukhazikitsa bata adani ndi anthu obwezera zoyipa.

From the lips of children and infants you have established praise, because of your adversaries, that you might silence the enemy and the avenger.

3 Pamene ndilingalira za mayiko anu akumwamba, ntchito ya zala zanu, mwezi ndi nyenyezi, zimene mwaziyika pa malo ake,

When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars which you have set in place;

4 munthu ndani kuti Inu mumamukumbukira, ndi mwana wa munthu kuti inu mumacheza naye?

what is man, that you think of him, and the son of man that you care for him?

5 Inu munamupanga kukhala wocheperapo kusiyana ndi zolengedwa zakumwamba ndipo mwamuveka ulemerero ndi ulemu.

For you have made him a little lower than the angels. You have crowned him with glory and honor,

6 Inu munamuyika wolamulira ntchito ya manja anu; munayika zinthu zonse pansi pa mapazi ake;

and you made him ruler over the works of your hands. You have put all things under his feet:

7 nkhosa, mbuzi ndi ngʼombe pamodzi ndi nyama zakuthengo,

all sheep and cattle, and also the wild animals,

8 mbalame zamlengalenga ndi nsomba zamʼnyanja zonse zimene zimayenda pansi pa nyanja.

the birds of the sky, and the fish of the sea, whatever passes through the paths of the seas.

9 Inu Yehova, Ambuye athu, dzina lanu ndi lamphamvudi pa dziko lonse lapansi!

Jehovah, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth.
