Psalms 136

1 Praise the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

Bongani uThixo, ngoba ulungile.

2 Praise ye the God of gods: for his mercy endureth for ever.

Bongani uNkulunkulu wabonkulunkulu.

3 Praise ye the Lord of lords: for his mercy endureth for ever.

Bongani uMbusi wababusi:

4 Who alone doth great wonders: for his mercy endureth for ever.

Kuye yedwa owenza izimanga ezinkulu,

5 Who made the heavens in understanding: for his mercy endureth for ever.

Owathi ngokuzwisisa kwakhe wenza amazulu,

6 Who established the earth above the waters: for his mercy endureth for ever.

Owendlala umhlaba phezu kwamanzi,

7 Who made the great lights: for his mercy endureth for ever.

Owenza izibane ezinkulu,

8 The sun to rule over the day: for his mercy endureth for ever.

Ilanga ukubusa emini,

9 The moon and the stars to rule the night: for his mercy endureth for ever.

Inyanga lezinkanyezi ukubusa ebusuku,

10 Who smote Egypt with their firstborn: for his mercy endureth for ever.

Kuye owatshaya walalisa amazibulo aseGibhithe,

11 Who brought Israel from among them: for his mercy endureth for ever.

Wakhupha u-Israyeli phakathi kwabo,

12 With a mighty hand and a stretched out arm: for his mercy endureth for ever.

Ngesandla esilamandla lengalo eyeluliweyo,

13 Who divided the Red Sea into parts: for his mercy endureth for ever.

Kuye owadabula uLwandle oluBomvu lwehlukana,

14 And brought out Israel through the midst thereof: for his mercy endureth for ever.

Wakhuphula u-Israyeli phakathi kwalo,

15 And overthrew Pharao and his host in the Red Sea: for his mercy endureth for ever.

Kodwa wakhukhulela uFaro lempi yakhe eLwandle oluBomvu,

16 Who led his people through the desert: for his mercy endureth for ever.

Wahola abantu bakhe enkangala,

17 Who smote great kings: for his mercy endureth for ever.

Owalahla phansi amakhosi amakhulu,

18 And slew strong kings: for his mercy endureth for ever.

Wabulala amakhosi esabekayo,

19 Sehon king of the Amorrhites: for his mercy endureth for ever.

uSihoni inkosi yama-Amori,

20 And Og king of Basan: for his mercy endureth for ever.

lo-Ogi inkosi yaseBhashani,

21 And he gave their land for an inheritance: for his mercy endureth for ever.

Wanikela amazwe abo njengelifa,

22 For an inheritance to his servant Israel: for his mercy endureth for ever.

Abayilifa encekwini yakhe u-Israyeli,

23 For he was mindful of us in our affliction: for his mercy endureth for ever.

Kuye Yedwa owasikhumbula singesibantu balutho,

24 And he redeemed us from our enemies: for his mercy endureth for ever.

Wasikhulula ezitheni zethu,

25 Who giveth food to all flesh: for his mercy endureth for ever.

Njalo onika ukudla izidalwa zonke,

26 Give glory to the God of heaven: for his mercy endureth for ever.

Bongani uNkulunkulu wasezulwini,
