< Psalms 111 >
1 Hallelujah! I will celebrate Jehovah with [my] whole heart, in the council of the upright, and in the assembly.
Dumisani iNkosi! Ngizayibonga iNkosi ngenhliziyo yonke, emhlanganweni wabaqotho lebandleni.
2 Great are the works of Jehovah; sought out of all that delight in them.
Mikhulu imisebenzi yeNkosi, idingwa yilabo abathokoza ngayo.
3 His work is majesty and splendour, and his righteousness abideth for ever.
Ulodumo lenkazimulo umsebenzi wayo, lokulunga kwayo kumi kuze kube nininini.
4 He hath made his wonders to be remembered: Jehovah is gracious and merciful.
Yenzile izimangaliso zayo zikhunjulwe; iNkosi ilomusa lesihawu.
5 He hath given meat unto them that fear him; he is ever mindful of his covenant.
Iyabapha ukudla labo abayesabayo; iyakhumbula kuze kube phakade isivumelwano sayo.
6 He hath shewn his people the power of his works, to give them the heritage of the nations.
Yazisile abantu bayo amandla emisebenzi yayo, ngokubanika ilifa lezizwe.
7 The works of his hands are truth and judgment; all his precepts are faithful:
Imisebenzi yezandla zayo iliqiniso lokwehlulela; imithetho yayo yonke iqinisekile.
8 Maintained for ever and ever, done in truth and uprightness.
Isekelwe kuze kube phakade laphakade, yenziwa ngeqiniso langobuqotho.
9 He sent deliverance unto his people; he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and terrible is his name.
Yathumela uhlengo ebantwini bayo; ilaye isivumelwano sayo kuze kube nininini; lingcwele liyesabeka ibizo layo.
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.
Ukuyesaba iNkosi kuyikuqala kokuhlakanipha; balokuqedisisa okuhle bonke abayenzayo imilayo. Indumiso yayo imi kuze kube nininini.
