< Psalms 113 >
1 Praise the Lord, ye children: praise ye the name of the Lord.
Dumisani iNkosi! Dumisani, zinceku zeNkosi, dumisani ibizo leNkosi.
2 Blessed be the name of the Lord, from henceforth now and for ever.
Kalibongwe ibizo leNkosi kusukela khathesi njalo kuze kube nininini.
3 From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same, the name of the Lord is worthy of praise.
Kusukela ekuphumeni kwelanga kuze kube sekutshoneni kwalo ibizo leNkosi kalidunyiswe.
4 The Lord is high above all nations; and his glory above the heavens.
INkosi iphakeme phezu kwezizwe zonke, ubukhosi bayo buphezu kwamazulu.
5 Who is as the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high:
Ngubani onjengeNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu, ehlezi phezulu,
6 And looketh down on the low things in heaven and in earth?
ekhothama ukukhangela emazulwini lemhlabeni?
7 Raising up the needy from the earth, and lifting up the poor out of the dunghill:
Iyamvusa umyanga ethulini, imphakamise osweleyo enqunjini yomquba,
8 That he may place him with princes, with the princes of his people.
ukuze imhlalise leziphathamandla, kanye leziphathamandla zabantu bayo.
9 Who maketh a barren woman to dwell in a house, the joyful mother of children.
Ihlalisa inyumba emzini, unina wabantwana othokozayo. Dumisani iNkosi!
