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 presses: a psalm of David. O Lord our Lord, how admirable is thy name in the whole earth! For thy magnificence is elevated above the heavens.

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

Out of the mouth of infants and of sucklings thou hast perfected praise, because of thy enemies, that thou mayst destroy the enemy and the avenger.

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

For I will behold thy heavens, the works of thy fingers: the moon and the stars which thou hast founded.

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

What is man that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man that thou visitest hi?

5 Wamenza waba mncinyazana kulezingilosi, wamethesa umqhele wodumo lobukhosi.

Thou hast made him a little less than the angels, thou hast crowned him with glory and honour:

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

And hast set him over the works of thy hands.

7 yonke imihlambi yezimvu leyenkomo lezinyamazana zeganga,

Thou hast subjected all things under his feet, all sheep and oxen: moreover the beasts also of the fields.

8 izinyoni zasemkhathini lenhlanzi zolwandle, konke okuntsheza emanzini olwandle.

The birds of the air, and the fishes of the sea, that 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 thy name in all the earth!
