Psalms 148
1 Hallelujah. Praise ye the LORD from the heavens; praise Him in the heights.
Dumisani iNkosi! Dumisani iNkosi lisemazulwini, idumiseni endaweni eziphezulu.
2 Praise ye Him, all His angels; praise ye Him, all His hosts.
Idumiseni lonke zingilosi zayo. Idumiseni lonke mabandla ayo.
3 Praise ye Him, sun and moon; praise Him, all ye stars of light.
Idumiseni langa lenyanga. Idumiseni lonke zinkanyezi ezikhanyayo.
4 Praise Him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that are above the heavens.
Idumiseni mazulu amazulu, lani manzi aphezu kwamazulu.
5 Let them praise the name of the LORD; for He commanded, and they were created.
Kakudumise ibizo leNkosi; ngoba yona yalaya, kwasekudalwa.
6 He hath also established them for ever and ever; He hath made a decree which shall not be transgressed.
Yakumisa kuze kube nini lanini; yakhupha isimiso esingayikwedlula.
7 Praise the LORD from the earth, ye sea-monsters, and all deeps;
Dumisani iNkosi lisemhlabeni, migobho yolwandle, lani zinziki zonke,
8 Fire and hail, snow and vapour, stormy wind, fulfilling His word;
mlilo lesiqhotho, liqhwa elikhithikileyo lenkungu, siphepho esenza ilizwi layo;
9 Mountains and all hills, fruitful trees and all cedars;
zintaba lamaqaqa wonke, zihlahla zezithelo lemisedari yonke,
10 Beasts and all cattle, creeping things and winged fowl;
zinyamazana zeganga lezifuyo zonke, zinto ezihuquzelayo lenyoni eziphaphayo.
11 Kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all judges of the earth;
Makhosi omhlaba, lani zizwe zonke, ziphathamandla, lani babusi bomhlaba,
12 Both young men and maidens, old men and children;
majaha, lani-ke zintombi, maxhegu labatsha.
13 Let them praise the name of the LORD, for His name alone is exalted; His glory is above the earth and heaven.
Kabadumise ibizo leNkosi, ngoba ibizo layo lodwa liphakeme; ubukhosi bayo buphezu komhlaba lamazulu.
14 And He hath lifted up a horn for His people, a praise for all His saints, even for the children of Israel, a people near unto Him. Hallelujah.
Njalo iphakamisile uphondo lwabantu bayo, indumiso yabo bonke abangcwele bayo, eyabantwana bakoIsrayeli, abantu abaseduze layo. Dumisani iNkosi!
