Dumisani uThixo. Ngizambabaza uThixo ngenhliziyo yami yonke enkundleni yabaqotho lasemhlanganweni.

2 Great are the works of the Lord, exquisite in all his intentions.

Mikhulu imisebenzi kaThixo; isemicabangweni yabo bonke abathokoza ngayo.

3 Confession and magnificence are his work. And his justice remains from age to age.

Zilenkazimulo lobukhosi izenzo zakhe, lokulunga Kwakhe kumi kuze kube laphakade.

4 He has created a memorial to his wonders; he is a merciful and compassionate Lord.

Wenzile ukuthi izimanga zakhe zikhunjulwe; uThixo ulomusa lesihawu.

5 He has given food to those who fear him. He will be mindful of his covenant in every age.

Uyabapha ukudla labo abamesabayo; uyasikhumbula isivumelwano Sakhe lanini.

6 He will announce the virtue of his works to his people,

Ubatshengisile abantu bakhe amandla emisebenzi yakhe, ngokubapha amazwe ezinye izizwe.

Imisebenzi yezandla zakhe ithembekile, ilungile; zonke iziqondiso zakhe ziyathembeka.

8 All his commands are faithful: confirmed from age to age, created in truth and fairness.

Zimi kaziguquki nini lanini, zenziwa ngeqiniso langobuqotho.

9 He has sent redemption upon his people. He has commanded his covenant for all eternity. Holy and terrible is his name.

Wathumela abantu bakhe insindiso; wasingcwelisa isivumelwano Sakhe okwanininini lingcwele liyesabeka ibizo lakhe.

10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. A good understanding is for all who do it. His praise remains from age to age.

Ukumesaba uThixo kuyikuqala kwenhlakanipho bonke abalandela iziqondiso zakhe balokuzwisisa okuhle. Kungokwakhe ukudunyiswa kwaphakade.
