To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm of David.
1 O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
Who hast set thy glory above the heavens.
Wewe, MUNGU, Bwana wetu Jinsi lilivyo tukufu jina lako duniani mwote! Wewe umeuweka utukufu wako mbinguni;
2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies,
That thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
Vinywani mwa watoto wachanga na wanyonyao Umeiweka misingi ya nguvu; Kwa sababu yao wanaoshindana nawe; Uwakomeshe adui na mijilipiza kisasi.
3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers,
The moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
Nikiziangalia mbingu zako, kazi ya vidole vyako, Mwezi na nyota ulizoziratibisha;
4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him?
And the son of man, that thou visitest him?
Mtu ni kitu gani hata umkumbuke, Na binadamu hata umwangalie?
5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels,
And hast crowned him with glory and honour.
Umemfanya mdogo punde kuliko Mungu; Umemvika taji ya utukufu na heshima;
6 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands;
Thou hast put all things under his feet:
Umemtawaza juu ya kazi za mikono yako; Umevitia vitu vyote chini ya miguu yake.
7 All sheep and oxen,
Yea, and the beasts of the field;
Kondoo, na ng'ombe wote pia; Naam, na wanyama wa kondeni;
8 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea,
And whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.
Ndege wa angani, na samaki wa baharini; Na kila kipitacho njia za baharini.
9 O LORD our Lord,
How excellent is thy name in all the earth!
Wewe, MUNGU, Bwana wetu, Jinsi lilivyo tukufu jina lako duniani mwote!
