< Psalms 113 >
1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD.
Dumisani iNkosi! Dumisani, zinceku zeNkosi, dumisani ibizo leNkosi.
2 Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and for evermore.
Kalibongwe ibizo leNkosi kusukela khathesi njalo kuze kube nininini.
3 From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD’S name is to be praised.
Kusukela ekuphumeni kwelanga kuze kube sekutshoneni kwalo ibizo leNkosi kalidunyiswe.
4 The LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens.
INkosi iphakeme phezu kwezizwe zonke, ubukhosi bayo buphezu kwamazulu.
5 Who is like unto the LORD our God, that hath his seat on high,
Ngubani onjengeNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu, ehlezi phezulu,
6 That humbleth himself to behold [the things that are] in heaven and in the earth?
ekhothama ukukhangela emazulwini lemhlabeni?
7 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the needy from the dunghill;
Iyamvusa umyanga ethulini, imphakamise osweleyo enqunjini yomquba,
8 That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people.
ukuze imhlalise leziphathamandla, kanye leziphathamandla zabantu bayo.
9 He maketh the barren woman to keep house, [and to be] a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD.
Ihlalisa inyumba emzini, unina wabantwana othokozayo. Dumisani iNkosi!
