Psalms 8

1 To the Chief Musician. On "the Gittith." A Melody of David. O Yahweh, our Lord! How majestic is thy Name, in all the earth, Who hast set thy splendour upon the heavens.

Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Ayi Mukama, Mukama waffe, erinnya lyo nga ddungi era kkulu nnyo mu nsi yonna! Ekitiibwa kyo kitenderezebwa okutuuka waggulu mu ggulu.

2 Out of the mouth of children and sucklings, hast thou laid a foundation of strength, —because of thine adversaries, to make foe and avenger be still.

Abaana abato n’abawere wabawa amaanyi okukutendereza; ne basirisa omulabe wo n’oyo ayagala okwesasuza.

3 When I view thy heavens, the work, of thy fingers, moon and stars, which thou hast established,

Bwe ntunuulira eggulu lyo, omulimu gw’engalo zo, omwezi n’emmunyeenye bye watonda;

4 What was weak man, that thou shouldst make mention of him? or the son of the earthborn, that thou shouldst set him in charge?

omuntu kye ki ggwe okumujjukira, omuntu obuntu ggwe okumussaako omwoyo?

5 That thou shouldst make him little less than messengers of God, with glory and honour, shouldst crown him?

Kubanga wamukola n’abulako katono okuba nga Katonda; n’omussaako engule ey’obukulu n’ekitiibwa.

6 Shouldst give him dominion over the works of thy hands, —All things, shouldst have put under his feet:

Wamukwasa okufuga ebintu byonna bye wakola n’emikono gyo: byonna wabissa wansi w’ebigere bye,

7 Sheep and oxen, all of them, —yea even the beasts of the field;

ebisibo n’amagana ag’ebisolo byonna eby’omu nsiko,

8 The bird of the heavens, and the fishes of the sea, — the passer-by on the paths of the seas?

n’ennyonyi ez’omu bbanga, n’ebyennyanja eby’omu nnyanja; era na buli kiramu kyonna ekiyita mu nnyanja.

9 O Yahweh, our Lord! How majestic is thy Name, in all the earth.

Ayi Mukama, Mukama waffe, erinnya lyo nga ddungi era kkulu nnyo mu nsi yonna!
