Zaburi 8

1 Kwa mwimbishaji. Mtindo wa gitithi. Zaburi ya Daudi. Ee Bwana, Bwana wetu, tazama jinsi lilivyo tukufu jina lako duniani mwote! Umeuweka utukufu wako juu ya mbingu.

O LORD, our Lord, how excellent is your name in all the earth! who have set your glory above the heavens.

2 Midomoni mwa watoto wachanga na wanyonyao umeamuru sifa, kwa sababu ya watesi wako, kumnyamazisha adui na mlipiza kisasi.

Out of the mouth of babes and infants have you ordained strength because of your enemies, that you might still the enemy and the avenger.

3 Nikiziangalia mbingu zako, kazi ya vidole vyako, mwezi na nyota, ulizoziratibisha,

When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have ordained;

4 mwanadamu ni kitu gani hata unamfikiria, binadamu ni nani hata unamjali?

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

5 Umemfanya chini kidogo kuliko viumbe wa mbinguni, ukamvika taji ya utukufu na heshima.

For you have made him a little lower than the angels, and have crowned him with glory and honour.

6 Umemfanya mtawala juu ya kazi za mikono yako; umeweka vitu vyote chini ya miguu yake.

You made him to have dominion over the works of your hands; you have put all things under his feet:

7 Mifugo na makundi yote pia, naam, na wanyama wa kondeni,

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

8 ndege wa angani na samaki wa baharini, naam, kila kiogeleacho katika njia za bahari.

The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passes through the paths of the seas.

9 Ee Bwana, Bwana wetu, tazama jinsi lilivyo tukufu jina lako duniani mwote!

O LORD our Lord, how excellent is your name in all the earth!
