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.

For the Chief Musician; set to the Gittith. A Psalm of David. O LORD, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory upon 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 strength, because of thine adversaries, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.

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

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

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.

For thou hast made him but little lower than God, and crownest him with glory and honour.

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

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

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

All sheep and oxen, yea, and 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 air, and the fish of the sea, whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.

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

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