< Psalms 148 >

1 Praise ye YHWH. Praise ye YHWH 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 be above the heavens.
Idumiseni mazulu amazulu, lani manzi aphezu kwamazulu.
5 Let them praise the name of YHWH: for he commanded, and they were created.
Kakudumise ibizo leNkosi; ngoba yona yalaya, kwasekudalwa.
6 He hath also stablished them for ever and ever: he hath made a decree which shall not pass.
Yakumisa kuze kube nini lanini; yakhupha isimiso esingayikwedlula.
7 Praise YHWH from the earth, ye dragons, 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 flying fowl:
zinyamazana zeganga lezifuyo zonke, zinto ezihuquzelayo lenyoni eziphaphayo.
11 Kings of the earth, and all people; 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 YHWH: for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven.
Kabadumise ibizo leNkosi, ngoba ibizo layo lodwa liphakeme; ubukhosi bayo buphezu komhlaba lamazulu.
14 He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise ye YHWH.
Njalo iphakamisile uphondo lwabantu bayo, indumiso yabo bonke abangcwele bayo, eyabantwana bakoIsrayeli, abantu abaseduze layo. Dumisani iNkosi!
