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 style. A psalm of David. Yahweh our Lord, how magnificent is your name in all the earth, you who reveal your glory in the heavens above.

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

Out of the mouth of babies and infants you have established praise because of your enemies, so that you might silence both the enemy and the avenger.

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

When I look up at your heavens, which your fingers have made, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,

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

Of what importance is the human race that you notice them, or mankind that you pay attention to them?

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

Yet you have made them only a little lower than the heavenly beings and have crowned them with glory and honor.

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

You make him to rule over the works of your hands; you have put all things under his feet:

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

all sheep and oxen, and even the animals of the field,

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

the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea, everything that passes through the currents of the seas.

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

Yahweh our Lord, how magnificent is your name in all the earth!
