Psalms 148
1 Praise Yahweh. Praise Yahweh, you in the heavens; praise him, you in the heights.
Dumisani uThixo. Dumisani uThixo emazulwini, mdumiseni eziqongweni ngaphezulu.
2 Praise him, all his angels; praise him, all his hosts.
Mdumiseni zingilosi zakhe zonke, mdumiseni lonke mabutho asezulwini.
3 Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all you shining stars.
Mdumiseni, langa lenyanga, mdumiseni lonke zinkanyezi ezikhazimulayo.
4 Praise him, highest heaven and you waters that are above the sky.
Mdumiseni lina ziqongo zamazulu lani manzi ngaphezulu komkhathi.
5 Let them praise the name of Yahweh, for he gave the command, and they were created.
Konke kakudumise ibizo likaThixo ngoba yena watsho ilizwi kwadaleka.
6 He has also established them forever and ever; he issued a decree that will never change.
Wazibeka ezindaweni zazo okwanini lanini; wanika isahlulelo esingela kuguquka.
7 Praise him from the earth, you sea monsters and all ocean depths,
Dumisani uThixo emhlabeni, lina zidalwa zasolwandle lezinziki zalo zonke,
8 fire and hail, snow and clouds, stormy wind fulfilling his word.
umbane lesiqhotho, ungqwaqwane lamayezi, umoya wesiphepho owenza intando yakhe,
9 Praise him, mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars,
lina zintaba lamaqaqa wonke, zihlahla zezithelo lemisedari yonke,
10 animals wild and tame, creatures that crawl and birds.
zinyamazana zeganga lenkomo zonke, zinanakazana lezinyoni eziphaphayo,
11 Praise Yahweh, kings of the earth and all nations, princes and all who govern on the earth,
makhosi omhlaba lezizwe zonke, lina makhosana lababusi bonke emhlabeni,
12 both young men and young women, elderly and children.
majaha lezintombi, maxhegu labantwana.
13 Let them all praise the name of Yahweh, for his name alone is exalted and his glory extends over the earth and the heavens.
Kabalidumise ibizo likaThixo, ngoba ibizo lakhe lodwa liphakeme; inkazimulo yakhe ingaphezulu komhlaba lamazulu.
14 He has lifted up the horn of his people for praise from all his faithful ones, the Israelites, the people near to him. Praise Yahweh.
Ubaphakamisele abantu bakhe uphondo, indumiso yabo bonke abathembekileyo bakhe, eka-Israyeli, abantu abasesifubeni sakhe. Dumisani uThixo.
