Psalms 148

1 Praise ye the Lord from the heavens: praise ye him in the high places.

Dumisani uThixo. Dumisani uThixo emazulwini, mdumiseni eziqongweni ngaphezulu.

2 Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts.

Mdumiseni zingilosi zakhe zonke, mdumiseni lonke mabutho asezulwini.

3 Praise ye him, O sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars and light.

Mdumiseni, langa lenyanga, mdumiseni lonke zinkanyezi ezikhazimulayo.

4 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens: and let all the waters that are above the heavens

Mdumiseni lina ziqongo zamazulu lani manzi ngaphezulu komkhathi.

5 Praise the name of the Lord. For he spoke, and they were made: he commanded, and they were created.

Konke kakudumise ibizo likaThixo ngoba yena watsho ilizwi kwadaleka.

6 He hath established them for ever, and for ages of ages: he hath made a decree, and it shall not pass away.

Wazibeka ezindaweni zazo okwanini lanini; wanika isahlulelo esingela kuguquka.

7 Praise the Lord from the earth, ye dragons, and all ye deeps:

Dumisani uThixo emhlabeni, lina zidalwa zasolwandle lezinziki zalo zonke,

8 Fire, hail, snow, ice, stormy winds which fulfill his word:

umbane lesiqhotho, ungqwaqwane lamayezi, umoya wesiphepho owenza intando yakhe,

9 Mountains and all hills, fruitful trees and all cedars:

lina zintaba lamaqaqa wonke, zihlahla zezithelo lemisedari yonke,

10 Beasts and all cattle: serpents and feathered fowls:

zinyamazana zeganga lenkomo zonke, zinanakazana lezinyoni eziphaphayo,

11 Kings of the earth and all people: princes and all judges of the earth:

makhosi omhlaba lezizwe zonke, lina makhosana lababusi bonke emhlabeni,

12 Young men and maidens: let the old with the younger, praise the name of the Lord:

majaha lezintombi, maxhegu labantwana.

13 For his name alone is exalted.

Kabalidumise ibizo likaThixo, ngoba ibizo lakhe lodwa liphakeme; inkazimulo yakhe ingaphezulu komhlaba lamazulu.

14 The praise of him is above heaven and earth: and he hath exalted the horn of his people. A hymn to all his saints: to the children of Israel, a people approaching to him. Alleluia.

Ubaphakamisele abantu bakhe uphondo, indumiso yabo bonke abathembekileyo bakhe, eka-Israyeli, abantu abasesifubeni sakhe. Dumisani uThixo.
