Psalms 8

1 To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm of David. O LORD our Lord, how excellent [is] thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above 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 babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thy enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.

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

3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers; the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

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

4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

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

5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honor.

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

6 Thou hast made him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all [things] under his feet:

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

7 All sheep and oxen, yes, and the beasts of the field;

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

8 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, [and whatever] passeth through 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 LORD our Lord, how excellent [is] thy name in all the earth!

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