Psalms 111

1 Let the Lord be praised. I will give praise to the Lord with all my heart, among the upright, and in the meeting of the people.

Dumisani iNkosi! Ngizayibonga iNkosi ngenhliziyo yonke, emhlanganweni wabaqotho lebandleni.

2 The works of the Lord are great, searched out by all those who have delight in them.

Mikhulu imisebenzi yeNkosi, idingwa yilabo abathokoza ngayo.

3 His work is full of honour and glory; and his righteousness is unchanging for ever.

Ulodumo lenkazimulo umsebenzi wayo, lokulunga kwayo kumi kuze kube nininini.

4 Certain for ever is the memory of his wonders: the Lord is full of pity and mercy.

Yenzile izimangaliso zayo zikhunjulwe; iNkosi ilomusa lesihawu.

5 He has given food to his worshippers; he will keep his agreement in mind for ever.

Iyabapha ukudla labo abayesabayo; iyakhumbula kuze kube phakade isivumelwano sayo.

6 He has made clear to his people the power of his works, giving them the heritage of the nations.

Yazisile abantu bayo amandla emisebenzi yayo, ngokubanika ilifa lezizwe.

7 The works of his hands are faith and righteousness; all his laws are unchanging.

Imisebenzi yezandla zayo iliqiniso lokwehlulela; imithetho yayo yonke iqinisekile.

8 They are fixed for ever and ever, they are done in faith and righteousness.

Isekelwe kuze kube phakade laphakade, yenziwa ngeqiniso langobuqotho.

9 He has sent salvation to his people; he has given his word for ever: holy is his name and greatly to be feared.

Yathumela uhlengo ebantwini bayo; ilaye isivumelwano sayo kuze kube nininini; lingcwele liyesabeka ibizo layo.

10 The fear of the Lord is the best part of wisdom: all those who keep his laws are wise: his praise is eternal.

Ukuyesaba iNkosi kuyikuqala kokuhlakanipha; balokuqedisisa okuhle bonke abayenzayo imilayo. Indumiso yayo imi kuze kube nininini.
