Tingtoeng 8

1 Gittith rhotoeng dongah aka mawt ham David kah tingtoenglung Kaimih kah boeipa Yahweh tah, diklai pum ah na ming metlam a khuet tih, na mueithennah te vaan dongla na khueh mai.

For the music director. On the gittith. A psalm of David. Lord, our Lord, your magnificent reputation fills the earth! Your majesty is greater than the heavens above,

2 Nang aka daengdaeh kongah, thunkha neh phuloh te kangkuen sak ham camoe neh cahni ka lamkah sarhi na cuen sak.

and is sung by the voices of children and infants. Your strength counters your opponents, silencing the enemy and the avenger.

3 Vaan kah na kutngo hla neh aisi boeih na khueh te ka hmuh vaengah,

When I contemplate the heavens that your hands made, the moon and stars that you placed there,

4 Balae tih hlanghing te na ngaidam tih, hlang capa te na hip?

What are human beings that you should concern yourself with them? What are people that you should care for them?

5 Tedae anih te Pathen lakah vel na toem sak phoeiah ni, anih te thangpomnah neh, rhuepomnah na khuem sak.

You created them a little lower than God, crowning them with glory and majesty.

6 Na kutngo te anih na taemrhai sak tih, a kho hmuiah,

You put them in charge of all that you made, giving them authority over everything:

7 tu neh saelhung boeih khaw, kohong kah rhamsa khaw,

the sheep, the cattle, and the wild animals,

8 vaan kah vaa neh tuitunli kongtlang kah aka kat tuitunli nga khaw boeih a khueh pah.

the birds in the sky, and the fish in the sea—everything that swims in the ocean.

9 Aw BOEIPA, kaimih kah boeipa tah na ming khaw diklai pum ah khuet tangkik.

Lord, our Lord, your magnificent reputation fills the earth!
