(A)Ayi Mukama, Mukama waffe,
    erinnya lyo nga ddungi era kkulu nnyo mu nsi yonna!

Ekitiibwa kyo kitenderezebwa
    okutuuka waggulu mu ggulu.
(B)Abaana abato n’abawere
    wabawa amaanyi okukutendereza;
ne basirisa omulabe wo
    n’oyo ayagala okwesasuza.
(C)Bwe ntunuulira eggulu lyo,
    omulimu gw’engalo zo,

    omuntu obuntu ggwe okumussaako omwoyo?

(E)Kubanga wamukola n’abulako katono okuba nga Katonda;
    n’omussaako engule ey’obukulu n’ekitiibwa.
(F)Wamukwasa okufuga ebintu byonna bye wakola n’emikono gyo:
    byonna wabissa wansi w’ebigere bye,
ebisibo n’amagana ag’ebisolo byonna eby’omu nsiko,
n’ennyonyi ez’omu bbanga,
    n’ebyennyanja eby’omu nnyanja;
    era na buli kiramu kyonna ekiyita mu nnyanja.

(G)Ayi Mukama, Mukama waffe, erinnya lyo nga ddungi
    era kkulu nnyo mu nsi yonna!

Psalm 8[a]

For the director of music. According to gittith.[b] A psalm of David.

Lord, our Lord,
    how majestic is your name(A) in all the earth!

You have set your glory(B)
    in the heavens.(C)
Through the praise of children and infants
    you have established a stronghold(D) against your enemies,
    to silence the foe(E) and the avenger.
When I consider your heavens,(F)
    the work of your fingers,(G)
the moon and the stars,(H)
    which you have set in place,
what is mankind that you are mindful of them,
    human beings that you care for them?[c](I)

You have made them[d] a little lower than the angels[e](J)
    and crowned them[f] with glory and honor.(K)
You made them rulers(L) over the works of your hands;(M)
    you put everything under their[g] feet:(N)
all flocks and herds,(O)
    and the animals of the wild,(P)
the birds in the sky,
    and the fish in the sea,(Q)
    all that swim the paths of the seas.

Lord, our Lord,
    how majestic is your name in all the earth!(R)
