Psalms 8

1 To the ouercomere, for pressours, the salm of Dauid. Lord, thou art oure Lord; thi name is ful wonderful in al erthe. For thi greet doyng is reisid, aboue heuenes.

Nkosi, Nkosi yethu, lilenkazimulo kangakanani ibizo lakho emhlabeni wonke! Omise ubukhosi bakho ngaphezu kwamazulu.

2 Of the mouth of yonge children, not spekynge and soukynge mylk, thou madist perfitli heriyng, for thin enemyes; that thou destrie the enemy and avengere.

Emlonyeni wezingane lowabamunyayo umisile amandla ngenxa yezitha zakho, ukuze uthulise isitha lomphindiseli.

3 For Y schal se thin heuenes, the werkis of thi fyngris; the moone and sterris, whiche thou hast foundid.

Lapho ngikhangela amazulu akho, umsebenzi weminwe yakho, inyanga lenkanyezi owazimisayo,

4 What is a man, that thou art myndeful of hym; ethir the sone of a virgyn, for thou visitist hym?

uyini umuntu ukuthi umkhumbule, lendodana yomuntu ukuthi uyihambele?

5 Thou hast maad hym a litil lesse than aungels; thou hast corouned hym with glorie and onour,

Kanti wamenza waba ngaphansi kancinyane kulengilosi, wamethwesa umqhele wobukhosi lodumo.

6 and hast ordeyned hym aboue the werkis of thin hondis.

Wamenza wabusa phezu kwemisebenzi yezandla zakho, konke wakubeka ngaphansi kwenyawo zakhe,

7 Thou hast maad suget alle thingis vndur hise feet; alle scheep and oxis, ferthermore and the beestis of the feeld;

izimvu lenkabi zonke, kanye lezinyamazana zeganga,

8 the briddis of the eir, and the fischis of the see; that passen bi the pathis of the see.

inyoni zamazulu, lezinhlanzi zolwandle, okudlula ezindleleni zenlwandle.

9 Lord, `thou art oure Lord; thi name `is wondurful in al erthe.

Nkosi, Nkosi yethu, lilenkazimulo kangakani ibizo lakho emhlabeni wonke!
