Psalms 146

1 Praise all of you the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul.

Dumisani iNkosi! Dumisa iNkosi, mphefumulo wami.

2 While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any 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 goes forth, he returns to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.

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

5 Happy is he that has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God:

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

6 Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keeps truth for ever:

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

7 Which executes judgment for the oppressed: which gives food to the hungry. The LORD looses the prisoners:

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

8 The LORD opens the eyes of the blind: the LORD raises them that are bowed down: the LORD loves the righteous:

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

9 The LORD perserves the strangers; he relieves the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turns upside down.

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

10 The LORD shall reign for ever, even your God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise all of you the LORD.

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