(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!

1 Omuwa, Omuwa gwetu,
edhina lyoye olya simana ngiini muuyuni auhe!
Oto hambelelwa sigo okombanda yomagulu;
2 to imbilwa kuunona nokuuhanona.
Owi ikaleka kokule naatondi yoye;
oto mweneke kehe ngoka a tsa ondumbo nangoye.
3 Ngele te tala kegulu ndyoka we li shiti,
komwedhi noonyothi mbyoka we yi uthile omahala gayo —
4 Omuntu omushike,
sho ho mu dhimbulukwa;
omushamba gwowala,
u na oshimpwiyu naye?
5 Omuntu we mu shiti e vulike ashike kungoye mwene;
owe mu zaleke eadhimo nesimano.
6 Owe mu ningi omupangeli gwaayihe we yi shiti;
eshito alihe owe li tula melelo lye:
7 oonzi noongombe nosho wo iiyamakuti:
8 oondhila noohi niinamwenyo yomefuta.
9 Omuwa, Omuwa gwetu,
edhina lyoye olya simana ngiini muuyuni auhe!
