Psalms 145
1 David's [Psalm of] praise. I will exalt thee, my God, my king; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever.
Ihubo lokudumisa. ElikaDavida. Ngizaphakamisa wena, Nkulunkulu wami oyiNkosi; ngizalidumisa ibizo lakho kuze kube phakade.
2 Every day will I bless thee, and I will praise thy name for ever and ever.
Zonke insuku ngizakudumisa ngibabaze ibizo lakho kuze kube phakade.
3 The Lord is great, and greatly to be praised; and there is no end to his greatness.
Umkhulu uThixo njalo ufanele kakhulu ukudunyiswa; ubukhulu bakhe kakho ongabulinganisa.
4 Generation after generation shall praise thy works, and tell of thy power.
Yileso laleso isizukulwane sizababaza imisebenzi yakho kwesinye; sizatshelana ngezenzo zakho ezinkulu.
5 And they shall speak of the glorious majesty of thy holiness, and recount thy wonders.
Sizakhuluma ngenkazimulo yakho ebenyezelayo ubukhosi bakho, lami ngizazidla ingqondo ngemisebenzi yakho emangalisayo.
6 And they shall speak of the power of thy terrible [acts]; and recount thy greatness.
Zizalandisa ngamandla emisebenzi yakho emangalisayo, lami ngizafakaza ngemisebenzi yakho emikhulu.
7 They shall utter the memory of the abundance of thy goodness, and shall exult in thy righteousness.
Bazakwenza umkhosi ngokulunga kwakho okukhulu bahlabele ngentokozo ngokulunga kwakho.
8 The Lord is compassionate, and merciful; long suffering, and abundant in mercy.
UThixo ulomusa njalo ulesihawu, uyaphuza ukuthukuthela, kodwa uyanda ngothando.
9 The Lord is good to those that wait [on him]; and his compassions are over all his works.
UThixo ulungile kubo bonke; ulesihawu kukho konke akwenzayo.
10 Let all thy works, O Lord, give thanks to thee; and let thy saints bless thee.
Konke owakwenzayo kuzakudumisa, wena Thixo; abathembekileyo bakho bazakubabaza.
11 They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and talk of thy dominion;
Bazalandisa ngenkazimulo yombuso wakho bakhulume ngamandla akho,
12 to make known to the sons of men thy power, and the glorious majesty of thy kingdom.
kuze kuthi bonke abantu bazi ngezenzo zakho ezinkulu lokubenyezela kwenkazimulo yombuso wakho.
13 Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion [endures] through all generations. The Lord is faithful in his words, and holy in all his works.
Umbuso wakho ungumbuso ongapheliyo, lobukhosi bakho bumi kuzozonke izizukulwane. UThixo uthembekile kuzozonke izithembiso zakhe njalo ulothando kukho konke akwenzayo.
14 The Lord supports all that are falling, and sets up all that are broken down.
UThixo uyabaxhasa bonke labo abawayo abaphakamise bonke abacubayo.
15 The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest [them] their food in due season.
Amehlo abo bonke akhangela kuwe, wena ubaphe ukudla kwabo ngesikhathi esifaneleyo.
16 Thou openest thine hands, and fillest every living thing with pleasure.
Uyavula isandla sakho usuthise izidingo zakho konke okuphilayo.
17 The Lord is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works.
UThixo ulungile kuzozonke izindlela zakhe njalo uthembekile kukho konke akwenzayo.
18 The Lord is near to all that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.
UThixo useduze kulabo abacela kuye, kubo bonke abacela kuye ngeqiniso.
19 He will perform the desire of them that fear him: and he will hear their supplication, and save them.
Uyagcwalisa izidingo zalabo abamesabayo; uyezwa ukukhala kwabo abasindise.
20 The Lord preserves all that love him: but all sinners he will utterly destroy.
UThixo uyabalinda bonke abamthandayo, kodwa bonke ababi uzababhubhisa.
21 My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord: and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.
Umlomo wami uzakhuluma ngokudumisa uThixo. Akuthi izidalwa zonke zidumise ibizo lakhe elingcwele kuze kube nini lanini.
