Psalms 146

1 Hallelujah. Praise the LORD, O my soul.

Dumisani iNkosi! Dumisa iNkosi, mphefumulo wami.

2 I will praise the LORD while I live; I will sing praises unto my God while I have my being.

Ngizayidumisa iNkosi ngisaphila; ngizahlabelela indumiso kuNkulunkulu wami ngisesekhona.

3 Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.

Lingabeki ithemba lenu eziphathamandleni, endodaneni yomuntu okungekho kuyo usindiso.

4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his dust; in that very day his thoughts perish.

Umoya wakhe uyaphuma, uyabuyela emhlabathini wakhe; ngalolosuku amacebo akhe ayaphela.

5 Happy is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD his God,

Ubusisiwe yena oloNkulunkulu kaJakobe ukuthi abe lusizo lwakhe, othemba lakhe liseNkosini uNkulunkulu wakhe,

6 Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is; who keepeth truth for ever;

owenza amazulu, lomhlaba, ulwandle, lakho konke okukukho, ogcina iqiniso kuze kube nininini,

7 Who executeth justice for the oppressed; who giveth bread to the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners;

owenzela abacindezelweyo isahlulelo, obaphayo ukudla abalambileyo. INkosi iyakhulula izibotshwa,

8 The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind; the LORD raiseth up them that are bowed down; the LORD loveth the righteous;

INkosi iyavula amehlo eziphofu; iNkosi iyabalulamisa abakhothemeyo; iNkosi iyabathanda abalungileyo.

9 The LORD preserveth the strangers; He upholdeth the fatherless and the widow; but the way of the wicked He maketh crooked.

INkosi ilondoloza abemzini, isekele intandane lomfelokazi; kodwa indlela yababi iyayigenqula.

10 The LORD will reign for ever, Thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Hallelujah.

INkosi izabusa kuze kube nininini, uNkulunkulu wakho, Ziyoni, kuze kube sesizukulwaneni ngesizukulwana. Dumisani iNkosi!
