Psalms 148

1 Praise ye Jehovah. Praise ye Jehovah from the heavens. Praise him in the heights.

Dumisani uThixo. Dumisani uThixo emazulwini, mdumiseni eziqongweni ngaphezulu.

2 Praise ye him, all his agents. Praise ye him, all his host.

Mdumiseni zingilosi zakhe zonke, mdumiseni lonke mabutho asezulwini.

3 Praise ye him, sun and moon. Praise him, all ye stars of light.

Mdumiseni, langa lenyanga, mdumiseni lonke zinkanyezi ezikhazimulayo.

4 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that are above the heavens.

Mdumiseni lina ziqongo zamazulu lani manzi ngaphezulu komkhathi.

5 Let them praise the name of Jehovah. For he commanded, and they were created.

Konke kakudumise ibizo likaThixo ngoba yena watsho ilizwi kwadaleka.

6 He has also established them forever and ever. He has made a decree which shall not pass away.

Wazibeka ezindaweni zazo okwanini lanini; wanika isahlulelo esingela kuguquka.

7 Praise Jehovah from the earth, ye sea-monsters, and all deeps,

Dumisani uThixo emhlabeni, lina zidalwa zasolwandle lezinziki zalo zonke,

8 fire and hail, snow and vapor, stormy wind, fulfilling his word,

umbane lesiqhotho, ungqwaqwane lamayezi, umoya wesiphepho owenza intando yakhe,

9 mountains and all hills, fruitful trees and all cedars,

lina zintaba lamaqaqa wonke, zihlahla zezithelo lemisedari yonke,

10 beasts and all cattle, creeping things and flying birds,

zinyamazana zeganga lenkomo zonke, zinanakazana lezinyoni eziphaphayo,

11 kings of the earth and all peoples, rulers and all judges of the earth,

makhosi omhlaba lezizwe zonke, lina makhosana lababusi bonke emhlabeni,

12 both young men and virgins, old men and sons.

majaha lezintombi, maxhegu labantwana.

13 Let them praise the name of Jehovah, for his name alone is exalted. His glory is above the earth and the heavens.

Kabalidumise ibizo likaThixo, ngoba ibizo lakhe lodwa liphakeme; inkazimulo yakhe ingaphezulu komhlaba lamazulu.

14 And he has lifted up the horn of his people, the praise of all his sanctified, even of the sons of Israel, a people near to him. Praise ye Jehovah.

Ubaphakamisele abantu bakhe uphondo, indumiso yabo bonke abathembekileyo bakhe, eka-Israyeli, abantu abasesifubeni sakhe. Dumisani uThixo.
