Psalms 148
1 Hallelujah! Praise the LORD from the heavens; praise Him in the highest places.
Dumisani uThixo. Dumisani uThixo emazulwini, mdumiseni eziqongweni ngaphezulu.
2 Praise Him, all His angels; praise Him, all His heavenly hosts.
Mdumiseni zingilosi zakhe zonke, mdumiseni lonke mabutho asezulwini.
3 Praise Him, O sun and moon; praise Him, all you shining stars.
Mdumiseni, langa lenyanga, mdumiseni lonke zinkanyezi ezikhazimulayo.
4 Praise Him, O highest heavens, and you waters above the skies.
Mdumiseni lina ziqongo zamazulu lani manzi ngaphezulu komkhathi.
5 Let them praise the name of the LORD, for He gave the command and they were created.
Konke kakudumise ibizo likaThixo ngoba yena watsho ilizwi kwadaleka.
6 He established them forever and ever; He issued a decree that will never pass away.
Wazibeka ezindaweni zazo okwanini lanini; wanika isahlulelo esingela kuguquka.
7 Praise the LORD from the earth, all great sea creatures and ocean depths,
Dumisani uThixo emhlabeni, lina zidalwa zasolwandle lezinziki zalo zonke,
8 lightning and hail, snow and clouds, powerful wind fulfilling His word,
umbane lesiqhotho, ungqwaqwane lamayezi, umoya wesiphepho owenza intando yakhe,
9 mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars,
lina zintaba lamaqaqa wonke, zihlahla zezithelo lemisedari yonke,
10 wild animals and all cattle, crawling creatures and flying birds,
zinyamazana zeganga lenkomo zonke, zinanakazana lezinyoni eziphaphayo,
11 kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all rulers of the earth,
makhosi omhlaba lezizwe zonke, lina makhosana lababusi bonke emhlabeni,
12 young men and maidens, old and young together.
majaha lezintombi, maxhegu labantwana.
13 Let them praise the name of the LORD, for His name alone is exalted; His splendor is above the earth and the heavens.
Kabalidumise ibizo likaThixo, ngoba ibizo lakhe lodwa liphakeme; inkazimulo yakhe ingaphezulu komhlaba lamazulu.
14 He has raised up a horn for His people, the praise of all His saints, of Israel, a people near to Him. Hallelujah!
Ubaphakamisele abantu bakhe uphondo, indumiso yabo bonke abathembekileyo bakhe, eka-Israyeli, abantu abasesifubeni sakhe. Dumisani uThixo.
