Psalms 113

1 Alleluia. Praise the Lord, you servants [of his], praise, the name of the Lord.

Dumisani uThixo. Dumisani uThixo, lina zinceku zakhe, dumisani ibizo likaThixo.

2 Let the name of the Lord be blessed, from this present time and for ever.

Kalidunyiswe ibizo likaThixo, khona manje kanye laphakade.

3 From the rising of the sun to his setting, the name of the Lord is to be praised.

Kusukela okuphuma khona ilanga kusiyafika lapho elitshona khona, kufanele lidunyiswe ibizo likaThixo.

4 The Lord is high above all the nations; his glory is above the heavens.

UThixo uphakeme ngaphezu kwezizwe zonke, inkazimulo yakhe ngaphezulu kwamazulu.

5 Who is as the Lord our God? who dwells in the high places,

Ngubani na onjengoThixo uNkulunkulu wethu, oNguye ohlezi ebukhosini phezulu,

6 and [yet] looks upon the low things in heaven, and on the earth:

okhothama akhangele phansi emazulwini lasemhlabeni?

7 who lifts up the poor from the earth, and raises up the needy from the dunghill;

Uyabavusa abampofu othulini, aphakamise abaswelayo esilotheni;

8 to set him with princes, [even] with the princes of his people:

abahlalise lamakhosana, amakhosana abantu bakibo.

9 who settles the barren [woman] in a house, [as] a mother rejoicing over children.

Lomfazi oyinyumba umenza ahlale kuhle emzini wakhe afane lalowo ongunina wabantwana. Dumisani uThixo.
