Mapisarema 8

1 Kumutungamiri wokuimba negititi. Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Haiwa Jehovha, Ishe wedu, zita renyu rakaisvonaka sei panyika yose! Makaisa kubwinya kwenyu kudenga kumusoro.

To the Chief Musician. On "the Gittith." A Melody of David. O Yahweh, our Lord! How majestic is thy Name, in all the earth, Who hast set thy splendour upon the heavens.

2 Pamiromo yavana navacheche makaisa rumbidzo nokuda kwavavengi venyu, kuti munyaradze muvengi nomutsivi.

Out of the mouth of children and sucklings, hast thou laid a foundation of strength, —because of thine adversaries, to make foe and avenger be still.

3 Kana ndichifunga nezvamatenga enyu, iro basa reminwe yenyu, mwedzi nenyeredzi, zvamakarongedza panzvimbo yazvo,

When I view thy heavens, the work, of thy fingers, moon and stars, which thou hast established,

4 munhu chiiko zvamunomufunga, kana mwanakomana womunhu zvamune hanya naye?

What was weak man, that thou shouldst make mention of him? or the son of the earthborn, that thou shouldst set him in charge?

5 Makamuita muduku zvishoma pana Mwari, uye mukamushongedza korona yokubwinya nokukudzwa.

That thou shouldst make him little less than messengers of God, with glory and honour, shouldst crown him?

6 Makamuita mutongi pamusoro pebasa ramaoko enyu; mukaisa zvinhu zvose pasi petsoka dzake:

Shouldst give him dominion over the works of thy hands, —All things, shouldst have put under his feet:

7 makwai ose nemombe, nemhuka dzesango,

Sheep and oxen, all of them, —yea even the beasts of the field;

8 neshiri dzedenga, nehove dzegungwa, zvose zvinofamba munzira dzomugungwa.

The bird of the heavens, and the fishes of the sea, — the passer-by on the paths of the seas?

9 Haiwa Jehovha, Ishe wedu, zita renyu rakaisvonaka sei panyika yose!

O Yahweh, our Lord! How majestic is thy Name, in all the earth.
