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.
