Bukulu gwe Ndzimu ne mamo e nthu
1 Yahwe, She wedu,
zina lenyu lakanaka seni mu shango yose!
Makabiga gudzo lenyu pezhugwi
kwe mazhuzhugwi!
2 Nge milomo ye zwitole ne ngawana,
makathama kuti mukudziwe.
Makazwivikilila mu zwita zwenyu.
Mozhalila nlomo we tjita newe mbgwilizili.
3 Ha ndilinga mazhuzhugwi enyu,
amakathama nge maboko enyu,
mwedzi ne nyenyedzi
dzamakagadza nge magalo adzo;
4 nthu ini kene wamungashwa mukumbula,
mwana we nthu ini kene
wamungashwa makatjengeta?
5 Makanthama kabe pasi
kwe batumwa be kudzimu kuli kutukununu,
makammbadza gudzo ne dendo.
6 Makampa ndaulo mu tjimwe ne tjimwe
tjamakabumba nge maboko enyu,
mukabiga tjimwe ne tjimwe pasi kukwe:
7 kose pkhwizi ne ng'ombe
nenge phuka dze shango,
8 nyuni dzinowuluka ne hwobe dze gungwa,
ne zwitjili zose zwinobhukutja mu gungwa.
9 Yahwe She wedu zina lenyu
ligulu seni mu shango yose!
(A psalm by David for the music leader. )
The Wonderful Name of the Lord
1 Our Lord and Ruler,
your name is wonderful
everywhere on earth!
You let your glory be seen
in the heavens above.
2 With praises from children
and from tiny infants,
you have built a fortress.
It makes your enemies silent,
and all who turn against you
are left speechless.
3 I often think of the heavens
your hands have made,
and of the moon and stars
you put in place.
4 Then I ask, “Why do you care
about us humans?
Why are you concerned
for us weaklings?”
5 You made us a little lower
than you yourself,
and you have crowned us
with glory and honor.
6 You let us rule everything
your hands have made.
And you put all of it
under our power—
7 the sheep and the cattle,
and every wild animal,
8 the birds in the sky,
the fish in the sea,
and all ocean creatures.
9 Our Lord and Ruler,
your name is wonderful
everywhere on earth!
