bethamila bathu be Iziraela bapejo ne moyo wabo.
Kudzani Yahwe!

the name of the Lord,
because they were created
at his command.
6 He made them to last forever,
and nothing can change
what he has done.

so come praise the Lord!
8 Sea monsters and the deep sea,
fire and hail, snow and frost,

all reptiles and birds,
come praise the Lord!
11 Every king and every ruler,
all nations on earth,

The glory of God is greater
