Psalms 111

1 Hallelujah! I will celebrate Jehovah with [my] whole heart, in the council of the upright, and in the assembly.

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

2 Great are the works of Jehovah; sought out of all that delight in them.

Mikhulu imisebenzi kaThixo; isemicabangweni yabo bonke abathokoza ngayo.

3 His work is majesty and splendour, and his righteousness abideth for ever.

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

4 He hath made his wonders to be remembered: Jehovah is gracious and merciful.

Wenzile ukuthi izimanga zakhe zikhunjulwe; uThixo ulomusa lesihawu.

5 He hath given meat unto them that fear him; he is ever mindful of his covenant.

Uyabapha ukudla labo abamesabayo; uyasikhumbula isivumelwano Sakhe lanini.

6 He hath shewn his people the power of his works, to give them the heritage of the nations.

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

7 The works of his hands are truth and judgment; all his precepts are faithful:

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

8 Maintained for ever and ever, done in truth and uprightness.

Zimi kaziguquki nini lanini, zenziwa ngeqiniso langobuqotho.

9 He sent deliverance unto his people; he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and terrible is his name.

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

10 The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom; a good understanding have all they that do [his precepts]: his praise abideth for ever.

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