< Amahubo 8 >

1 Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Ngendlela yegithithi. Ihubo likaDavida. Oh Thixo, Thixo wethu, ibizo lakho libabazeka kangaka emhlabeni wonke! Uyibekile inkazimulo yakho ngaphezulu emazulwini.
O Jehovah, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth, who has set thy glory upon the heavens!
2 Ukumisile ukudunyiswa yizindebe zabantwana lensane ngenxa yezitha zakho, ukuze uthulise isitha lomphindiseli.
Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou have perfected praise, because of thine adversaries, that thou might still the enemy and the avenger.
3 Nxa nginakana ngamazulu akho, umsebenzi weminwe yakho, inyanga lezinkanyezi ozibeke endaweni yazo,
When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou have ordained,
4 uyini umuntu osungaze uzihluphe ngaye na, indodana yomuntu ukuba uyinanze?
what is man that thou remember him? And the son of man that thou succor him?
5 Wamenza waba mncinyazana kulezingilosi, wamethesa umqhele wodumo lobukhosi.
For thou have made him but little lower than agents, and crowned him with glory and honor.
6 Wamenza umbusi phezu kwemisebenzi yezandla zakho; wabeka zonke izinto ngaphansi kwezinyawo zakhe:
Thou make him to have dominion over the works of thy hands. Thou have put all things under his feet.
7 yonke imihlambi yezimvu leyenkomo lezinyamazana zeganga,
All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field,
8 izinyoni zasemkhathini lenhlanzi zolwandle, konke okuntsheza emanzini olwandle.
the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea, whatever passes through the paths of the seas.
9 Oh Thixo, Thixo wethu, ibizo lakho libabazeka kangaka emhlabeni wonke!
O Jehovah, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
