Psalms 8

1 Nkosi, Nkosi yethu, lilenkazimulo kangakanani ibizo lakho emhlabeni wonke! Omise ubukhosi bakho ngaphezu kwamazulu.

2 Emlonyeni wezingane lowabamunyayo umisile amandla ngenxa yezitha zakho, ukuze uthulise isitha lomphindiseli.

3 Lapho ngikhangela amazulu akho, umsebenzi weminwe yakho, inyanga lenkanyezi owazimisayo,

4 uyini umuntu ukuthi umkhumbule, lendodana yomuntu ukuthi uyihambele?

5 Kanti wamenza waba ngaphansi kancinyane kulengilosi, wamethwesa umqhele wobukhosi lodumo.

6 Wamenza wabusa phezu kwemisebenzi yezandla zakho, konke wakubeka ngaphansi kwenyawo zakhe,

7 izimvu lenkabi zonke, kanye lezinyamazana zeganga,

8 inyoni zamazulu, lezinhlanzi zolwandle, okudlula ezindleleni zenlwandle.

9 Nkosi, Nkosi yethu, lilenkazimulo kangakani ibizo lakho emhlabeni wonke!
