Amahubo 8

1 Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Ngendlela yegithithi. Ihubo likaDavida. Oh Thixo, Thixo wethu, ibizo lakho libabazeka kangaka emhlabeni wonke! Uyibekile inkazimulo yakho ngaphezulu emazulwini.

Unto the end. For the oil and wine presses. A Psalm of David. O Lord, our Lord, how admirable is your name throughout all the earth! For your magnificence is elevated above the heavens.

2 Ukumisile ukudunyiswa yizindebe zabantwana lensane ngenxa yezitha zakho, ukuze uthulise isitha lomphindiseli.

Out of the mouths of babes and infants, you have perfected praise, because of your enemies, so that you may destroy the enemy and the revenger.

3 Nxa nginakana ngamazulu akho, umsebenzi weminwe yakho, inyanga lezinkanyezi ozibeke endaweni yazo,

For I will behold your heavens, the works of your fingers: the moon and the stars, which you have founded.

4 uyini umuntu osungaze uzihluphe ngaye na, indodana yomuntu ukuba uyinanze?

What is man, that you are mindful of him, or the son of man, that you visit him?

5 Wamenza waba mncinyazana kulezingilosi, wamethesa umqhele wodumo lobukhosi.

You reduced him to a little less than the Angels; you have crowned him with glory and honor,

6 Wamenza umbusi phezu kwemisebenzi yezandla zakho; wabeka zonke izinto ngaphansi kwezinyawo zakhe:

and you have set him over the works of your hands.

7 yonke imihlambi yezimvu leyenkomo lezinyamazana zeganga,

You have subjected all things under his feet, all sheep and oxen, and in addition: the beasts of the field,

8 izinyoni zasemkhathini lenhlanzi zolwandle, konke okuntsheza emanzini olwandle.

the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, which pass through the paths of the sea.

9 Oh Thixo, Thixo wethu, ibizo lakho libabazeka kangaka emhlabeni wonke!

O Lord, our Lord, how admirable is your name throughout all the earth!
