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 upon Gittith, A Psalm of David. O LORD our Lord, how excellent [is] thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.

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

Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thy enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.

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

When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers; the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

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

What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

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

For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honor.

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

Thou hast made him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all [things] under his feet:

7 makwai ose nemombe, nemhuka dzesango,

All sheep and oxen, yes, and the beasts of the field;

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

The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, [and whatever] passeth through the paths of the seas.

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

O LORD our Lord, how excellent [is] thy name in all the earth!
