[I tell] myself that I should praise Yahweh. Yahweh, my God, you are very great! Like a king has on his royal robes [MET], you have honor and majesty/greatness all around you!
2 Ubangiji ya naɗe kansa da haske kamar riga ya shimfiɗa sammai kamar tenti
You [created/caused] light to be like your robe [MET]. You spread out the sky like [a man sets up] a tent.

You made/put your home [in heaven], above the rain clouds in the sky, [like a man puts the] rafters of his house in place [MET]. You made/caused the clouds to be like chariots [to carry you].

We get [grapes to make] [MTY] wine to [drink and] make us cheerful, and we get [olives to make] [MTY] olive oil to [put on our] skin and cause it to shine, and we get [grain to make] [MTY] bread to give us strength.

24 Ina misalin yawan aikinka, ya Ubangiji! Cikin hikima ka yi su duka; duniya ta cika da halittunka.
Yahweh, you have made so many different kinds of things! You were [very] wise as you made them all. The earth is full of the creatures that you [made].

When you give them the food that they need, they gather it. You give them what you have in your hand, and they [eat it and] are satisfied.
29 Sa’ad da ka ɓoye fuskarka, sai su razana; sa’ad da ka ɗauke numfashinsu, sai su mutu su kuma koma ga ƙura.
[But] if you refuse to give food to them, they become terrified. And when you cause them to stop breathing, they die; their bodies [decay and] become soil again.
30 Sa’ad da ka aika da Ruhunka, sai su halittu, su kuma sabunta fuskar duniya.
When you cause newborn creatures to begin to breathe, they start to live; you give new life to all the living creatures on the earth.
