God's Glory and Human Dignity
1 O Lord, our Lord,
your greatness is seen in all the world!
Your praise reaches up to the heavens;
2 it is sung by children and babies.
You are safe and secure from all your enemies;
you stop anyone who opposes you.
3 When I look at the sky, which you have made,
at the moon and the stars, which you set in their places—
4 what are human beings, that you think of them;
mere mortals, that you care for them?
5 Yet you made them inferior only to yourself;
you crowned them with glory and honor.
6 You appointed them rulers over everything you made;
you placed them over all creation:
7 sheep and cattle, and the wild animals too;
8 the birds and the fish
and the creatures in the seas.
9 O Lord, our Lord,
your greatness is seen in all the world!
Ounene wa Ndjambi nonḓengu yomundu
Komuimburise otja ku Gitit. Epsalme ra David.
1 Muhona, ove oove Muhona wetu,
tjiri, ena roye ehimise mouye auhe!
Ondangu yoye i vaza nga komayuru.
2 Ovanatje novanyame ve imbura
oviungura vyomasa ove mbi wa zikamisa.
Ovekupirukire novanavita na
ove avehe otji mo ve mwinisa.
3 Tji me tara kevaverwa ove ndi wa ungura,
na komueze na kozonyose
nḓu wa twa poṋa pazo,
4 hapo omundu omukwatjike
kutja u mu zemburuka,
ingwi omuatje womundu
kutja u rikendera ye?
5 Ove we mu uta owokehi yovaengeri kaṱiṱi,
we mu hareka nondatero nondjozikiro.
6 Ove we mu zika okuhonaparera
oviṋa avihe mbi wa uta;
we mu twa kombanda yoviutwa avihe mbi:
7 Ozonḓu nozongombe,
novipuka vyokuti wina;
8 nozonḓera nozohi
noviutwa avihe vyomokuvare.
9 Muhona, ove oove Muhona wetu,
tjiri, ena roye ehimise mouye auhe!
