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 iNkosi! Ngizayibonga iNkosi ngenhliziyo yonke, emhlanganweni wabaqotho lebandleni.

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

Mikhulu imisebenzi yeNkosi, idingwa yilabo abathokoza ngayo.

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

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

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

Yenzile izimangaliso zayo zikhunjulwe; iNkosi ilomusa lesihawu.

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

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

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

Yazisile abantu bayo amandla emisebenzi yayo, ngokubanika ilifa lezizwe.

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

Imisebenzi yezandla zayo iliqiniso lokwehlulela; imithetho yayo yonke iqinisekile.

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

Isekelwe kuze kube phakade laphakade, yenziwa ngeqiniso langobuqotho.

9 He hath sent redemption unto His people; He hath commanded His covenant for ever; Holy and awful 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 have all they that do thereafter; His praise endureth for ever.

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