Psalms 111

1 Hallelujah. I will give thanks unto the LORD with my whole heart, in the council of the upright, and in the congregation.

Dumisani uThixo. Ngizambabaza uThixo ngenhliziyo yami yonke enkundleni yabaqotho lasemhlanganweni.

2 The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that have delight therein.

Mikhulu imisebenzi kaThixo; isemicabangweni yabo bonke abathokoza ngayo.

3 His work is glory and majesty; and His righteousness endureth for ever.

Zilenkazimulo lobukhosi izenzo zakhe, lokulunga Kwakhe kumi kuze kube laphakade.

4 He hath made a memorial for His wonderful works; the LORD is gracious and full of compassion.

Wenzile ukuthi izimanga zakhe zikhunjulwe; uThixo ulomusa lesihawu.

5 He hath given food unto them that fear Him; He will ever be mindful of His covenant.

Uyabapha ukudla labo abamesabayo; uyasikhumbula isivumelwano Sakhe lanini.

6 He hath declared to His people the power of His works, in giving them the heritage of the nations.

Ubatshengisile abantu bakhe amandla emisebenzi yakhe, ngokubapha amazwe ezinye izizwe.

7 The works of His hands are truth and justice; all His precepts are sure.

Imisebenzi yezandla zakhe ithembekile, ilungile; zonke iziqondiso zakhe ziyathembeka.

8 They are established for ever and ever, they are done in truth and uprightness.

Zimi kaziguquki nini lanini, zenziwa ngeqiniso langobuqotho.

9 He hath sent redemption unto His people; He hath commanded His covenant for ever; Holy and awful is His name.

Wathumela abantu bakhe insindiso; wasingcwelisa isivumelwano Sakhe okwanininini lingcwele liyesabeka ibizo lakhe.

10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; a good understanding have all they that do thereafter; His praise endureth for ever.

Ukumesaba uThixo kuyikuqala kwenhlakanipho bonke abalandela iziqondiso zakhe balokuzwisisa okuhle. Kungokwakhe ukudunyiswa kwaphakade.
