Zabbuli 8

1 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.

To the chief Musician. Upon the Gittith. A Psalm of David. Jehovah our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy majesty above the heavens.

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

Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou established praise because of thine adversaries, to still the enemy and the avenger.

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

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

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

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

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

Thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and splendour.

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

Thou hast made him to rule over the works of thy hands; thou hast put everything under his feet:

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

Sheep and oxen, all of them, and also the beasts of the field;

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

The fowl of the heavens, and the fishes of the sea, [whatever] passeth through the paths of the seas.

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

Jehovah our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
