Psalms 8

1 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,

Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Nzembo ya Davidi; ezali ya koyemba na lindanda ya bato ya Gati. Oh Yawe, Nkolo na biso, Kombo na Yo ezali monene kati na mokili mobimba! Ovandisi nkembo na Yo kati na Lola.

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

Na nzela ya masanzoli ya bana mpe bana mike, otelemisi ndako batonga makasi, mpo na kotelemela bayini na Yo mpe kokanga monoko ya monguna mpe ya moto oyo alingaka kozongisa mabe na mabe.

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

Tango natalaka Lola na Yo, mosala ya misapi na Yo, sanza mpe minzoto oyo otia,

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

namitunaka: Moto azali nini mpo ete okanisa ye, mpe moto azali nani mpo ete obatela ye?

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

Osalaki ye moke koleka ba-anjelu mpe olatisaka ye motole ya nkembo mpe ya lokumu;

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

otia ye moyangeli ya misala ya maboko na Yo, otia nyonso na se ya matambe na ye:

7 the sheep, the cattle, and the wild animals,

bameme, bantaba, bangombe mpe banyama ya zamba,

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

bandeke ya likolo, mbisi ya ebale monene mpe nyonso oyo etambolaka na bibale.

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

Oh Yawe, Nkolo na biso, Kombo na Yo ezali monene kati na mokili mobimba!
