< Psalms 8 >
1 For the Chief Musician; on an instrument of Gath. A Psalm by David. Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens!
Yahweh Bwana wetu, ni jinsi gani jina lako ni tukufu katika dunia yote, wewe ufunuaye utukufu wako juu mbinguni.
2 From the lips of babes and infants you have established strength, because of your adversaries, that you might silence the enemy and the avenger.
Kutoka katika midomo ya watoto na vichanga umeumba sifa kwa sababu ya utukufu wako, ili kuwanyamazisha maadui wote na walipa kisasi wote.
3 When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have ordained,
Ninapozitazama mbingu, ambazo vidole vyako vimeumba, mwezi na nyota, ambazo umeziweka kila mmoja katika nafasi yake,
4 what is man, that you think of him? What is the son of man, that you care for him?
Binadamu ni nani hata umtazame, na watu hata uwajali wao?
5 For you have made him a little lower than the angels, and crowned him with glory and honor.
Umewaumba chini kidogo kuliko viumbe vya mbinguni na umewazunguka na utukufu na heshima.
6 You make him ruler over the works of your hands. You have put all things under his feet:
Umemfanya binadamu kutawala kazi ya mikono yako; umeviweka vitu vyote chini ya miguu yake:
7 All sheep and cattle, yes, and the animals of the field,
kondoo na ng'ombe wote, na hata wanyama wa porini,
8 the birds of the sky, the fish of the sea, and whatever passes through the paths of the seas.
ndege wa angani, na samaki wa baharini, na vyote vipitavyo katika mikondo ya bahari.
9 Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
Yahweh Bwana wetu, ni jinsi gani jina lako ni tukufu katika dunia yote!
