Psalms 111

1 I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; in the council of the just: and in the congregation.

Dumisani iNkosi! Ngizayibonga iNkosi ngenhliziyo yonke, emhlanganweni wabaqotho lebandleni.

2 Great are the works of the Lord: sought out according to all his wills.

Mikhulu imisebenzi yeNkosi, idingwa yilabo abathokoza ngayo.

3 His work is praise and magnificence: and his justice continueth for ever and ever.

Ulodumo lenkazimulo umsebenzi wayo, lokulunga kwayo kumi kuze kube nininini.

4 He hath made a remembrance of his wonderful works, being a merciful and gracious Lord:

Yenzile izimangaliso zayo zikhunjulwe; iNkosi ilomusa lesihawu.

5 He hath given food to them that fear him. He will be mindful for ever of his covenant:

Iyabapha ukudla labo abayesabayo; iyakhumbula kuze kube phakade isivumelwano sayo.

6 He will shew forth to his people the power of his works.

Yazisile abantu bayo amandla emisebenzi yayo, ngokubanika ilifa lezizwe.

7 That he may give them the inheritance of the Gentiles: the works of his hands are truth and judgment.

Imisebenzi yezandla zayo iliqiniso lokwehlulela; imithetho yayo yonke iqinisekile.

8 All his commandments are faithful: confirmed for ever and ever, made in truth and equity.

Isekelwe kuze kube phakade laphakade, yenziwa ngeqiniso langobuqotho.

9 He hath sent redemption to 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 the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. A good understanding to all that do it: his praise continueth for ever and ever.

Ukuyesaba iNkosi kuyikuqala kokuhlakanipha; balokuqedisisa okuhle bonke abayenzayo imilayo. Indumiso yayo imi kuze kube nininini.
