< Psalms 113 >
1 Alleluia. Praise the Lord, you servants [of his], praise, the name of the Lord.
Bokumisa Yawe! Bino basali ya Yawe, bokumisa Ye; bokumisa Yawe!
2 Let the name of the Lord be blessed, from this present time and for ever.
Tika ete Kombo ya Yawe epambolama kobanda sik’oyo kino libela na libela!
3 From the rising of the sun to his setting, the name of the Lord is to be praised.
Longwa na este kino na weste, tika ete Kombo ya Yawe epambolama!
4 The Lord is high above all the nations; his glory is above the heavens.
Yawe azali na likolo ya bikolo nyonso, nkembo na Ye ezali na likolo koleka Lola.
5 Who is as the Lord our God? who dwells in the high places,
Nani akokani na Yawe, Nzambe na biso, oyo avandi na Kiti ya Bokonzi kati na bisika oyo eleki likolo?
6 and [yet] looks upon the low things in heaven, and on the earth:
Agumbamaka mpo na kotala likolo mpe mokili.
7 who lifts up the poor from the earth, and raises up the needy from the dunghill;
Wuta na putulu, atombolaka moto oyo akelela; wuta na fulu ya matiti, abimisaka mobola
8 to set him with princes, [even] with the princes of his people:
mpo na kovandisa ye esika moko na bakambi, na bankumu ya bato na Ye.
9 who settles the barren [woman] in a house, [as] a mother rejoicing over children.
Avandisaka mwasi ekomba kati na ndako na ye, lokola mama ya esengo kati na bana na ye. Bokumisa Yawe!
