Psalms 148

1 Hallelujah. Praise ye the Lord from the heavens: praise him in the heights.

Dumisani uThixo. Dumisani uThixo emazulwini, mdumiseni eziqongweni ngaphezulu.

2 Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts.

Mdumiseni zingilosi zakhe zonke, mdumiseni lonke mabutho asezulwini.

3 Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light.

Mdumiseni, langa lenyanga, mdumiseni lonke zinkanyezi ezikhazimulayo.

4 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that are above the heavens.

Mdumiseni lina ziqongo zamazulu lani manzi ngaphezulu komkhathi.

5 Let them praise the name of the Lord; for he commanded and they were created.

Konke kakudumise ibizo likaThixo ngoba yena watsho ilizwi kwadaleka.

6 And he established them for ever and to eternity: he gave a decree which none shall transgress.

Wazibeka ezindaweni zazo okwanini lanini; wanika isahlulelo esingela kuguquka.

7 Praise the Lord from the earth, ye sea-monsters, and all deeps;

Dumisani uThixo emhlabeni, lina zidalwa zasolwandle lezinziki zalo zonke,

8 Fire, and hail, snow, and vapor; thou storm-wind that fulfillest his word;

umbane lesiqhotho, ungqwaqwane lamayezi, umoya wesiphepho owenza intando yakhe,

9 Ye mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars;

lina zintaba lamaqaqa wonke, zihlahla zezithelo lemisedari yonke,

10 Ye beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and winged birds;

zinyamazana zeganga lenkomo zonke, zinanakazana lezinyoni eziphaphayo,

11 Ye kings of the earth, and all nations; ye princes, and all judges of the earth;

makhosi omhlaba lezizwe zonke, lina makhosana lababusi bonke emhlabeni,

12 Young men and also virgins; old men, together with boys: —

majaha lezintombi, maxhegu labantwana.

13 Let them praise the name of the Lord; for his name alone is exalted; his majesty is above earth and heaven.

Kabalidumise ibizo likaThixo, ngoba ibizo lakhe lodwa liphakeme; inkazimulo yakhe ingaphezulu komhlaba lamazulu.

14 He also exalteth the horn of his people, a praise unto all his pious servants, [even] unto the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Hallelujah.

Ubaphakamisele abantu bakhe uphondo, indumiso yabo bonke abathembekileyo bakhe, eka-Israyeli, abantu abasesifubeni sakhe. Dumisani uThixo.
