Psalms 8

1 For the choirmaster. According to Gittith. A Psalm of David. O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth! You have set Your glory above the heavens.

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.

2 From the mouths of children and infants You have ordained praise on account of Your adversaries, to silence the enemy and avenger.

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

3 When I behold Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have set in place—

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

4 what is man that You are mindful of him, or the son of man that You care for him?

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

5 You made him a little lower than the angels; You crowned him with glory and honor.

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

6 You made him ruler of the works of Your hands; You have placed everything under his feet:

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

7 all sheep and oxen, and even the beasts of the field,

nkhosa, mbuzi ndi ngʼombe pamodzi ndi nyama zakuthengo,

8 the birds of the air and the fish of the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas.

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

9 O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth!

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