Psalms 146

1 Praise ye Jehovah. Praise Jehovah, O my soul.

Dumisani iNkosi! Dumisa iNkosi, mphefumulo wami.

2 While I live will I praise Jehovah: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.

Ngizayidumisa iNkosi ngisaphila; ngizahlabelela indumiso kuNkulunkulu wami ngisesekhona.

3 Put not your trust in princes, Nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.

Lingabeki ithemba lenu eziphathamandleni, endodaneni yomuntu okungekho kuyo usindiso.

4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; In that very day his thoughts perish.

Umoya wakhe uyaphuma, uyabuyela emhlabathini wakhe; ngalolosuku amacebo akhe ayaphela.

5 Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, Whose hope is in Jehovah his God:

Ubusisiwe yena oloNkulunkulu kaJakobe ukuthi abe lusizo lwakhe, othemba lakhe liseNkosini uNkulunkulu wakhe,

6 Who made heaven and earth, The sea, and all that in them is; Who keepeth truth for ever;

owenza amazulu, lomhlaba, ulwandle, lakho konke okukukho, ogcina iqiniso kuze kube nininini,

7 Who executeth justice for the oppressed; Who giveth food to the hungry. Jehovah looseth the prisoners;

owenzela abacindezelweyo isahlulelo, obaphayo ukudla abalambileyo. INkosi iyakhulula izibotshwa,

8 Jehovah openeth [the eyes of] the blind; Jehovah raiseth up them that are bowed down; Jehovah loveth the righteous;

INkosi iyavula amehlo eziphofu; iNkosi iyabalulamisa abakhothemeyo; iNkosi iyabathanda abalungileyo.

9 Jehovah preserveth the sojourners; He upholdeth the fatherless and widow; But the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.

INkosi ilondoloza abemzini, isekele intandane lomfelokazi; kodwa indlela yababi iyayigenqula.

10 Jehovah will reign for ever, Thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye Jehovah.

INkosi izabusa kuze kube nininini, uNkulunkulu wakho, Ziyoni, kuze kube sesizukulwaneni ngesizukulwana. Dumisani iNkosi!
