Psalms 111

1 Praise ye Yah! I will give thanks unto Yahweh, with a whole heart, in the circle of the upright and the assembly.

Dumisani iNkosi! Ngizayibonga iNkosi ngenhliziyo yonke, emhlanganweni wabaqotho lebandleni.

2 Great are the works of Yahweh, sought out, by all who find pleasure therein.

Mikhulu imisebenzi yeNkosi, idingwa yilabo abathokoza ngayo.

3 Honourable and majestic, is his doing, and, his righteousness, standeth for aye.

Ulodumo lenkazimulo umsebenzi wayo, lokulunga kwayo kumi kuze kube nininini.

4 A memorial, hath he made by his wonders, Gracious and compassionate, is Yahweh.

Yenzile izimangaliso zayo zikhunjulwe; iNkosi ilomusa lesihawu.

5 Food, hath he given to them who revere him, He will remember, age-abidingly, his covenant.

Iyabapha ukudla labo abayesabayo; iyakhumbula kuze kube phakade isivumelwano sayo.

6 The might of his works, hath he declared to his people, that he may give them the inheritance of the nations.

Yazisile abantu bayo amandla emisebenzi yayo, ngokubanika ilifa lezizwe.

7 The works of his hands, are faithful and just, Firm are all his precepts;

Imisebenzi yezandla zayo iliqiniso lokwehlulela; imithetho yayo yonke iqinisekile.

8 Upheld to futurity, to times age-abiding, done in faithfulness and equity.

Isekelwe kuze kube phakade laphakade, yenziwa ngeqiniso langobuqotho.

9 Ransom, hath he sent to his people, He hath commanded, to times age-abiding, his covenant, Holy and reverend, is his Name.

Yathumela uhlengo ebantwini bayo; ilaye isivumelwano sayo kuze kube nininini; lingcwele liyesabeka ibizo layo.

10 The beginning of wisdom, is the reverence of Yahweh, Good discretion, have all that do them, His praise, endureth for aye.

Ukuyesaba iNkosi kuyikuqala kokuhlakanipha; balokuqedisisa okuhle bonke abayenzayo imilayo. Indumiso yayo imi kuze kube nininini.
