Psalms 148
1 Praise Yah! Praise Yahweh from the heavens! Praise him in the heights!
Dumisani iNkosi! Dumisani iNkosi lisemazulwini, idumiseni endaweni eziphezulu.
2 Praise him, all his angels! Praise him, all his army!
Idumiseni lonke zingilosi zayo. Idumiseni lonke mabandla ayo.
3 Praise him, sun and moon! Praise him, all you shining stars!
Idumiseni langa lenyanga. Idumiseni lonke zinkanyezi ezikhanyayo.
4 Praise him, you heavens of heavens, you waters that are above the heavens.
Idumiseni mazulu amazulu, lani manzi aphezu kwamazulu.
5 Let them praise Yahweh’s name, for he commanded, and they were created.
Kakudumise ibizo leNkosi; ngoba yona yalaya, kwasekudalwa.
6 He has also established them forever and ever. He has made a decree which will not pass away.
Yakumisa kuze kube nini lanini; yakhupha isimiso esingayikwedlula.
7 Praise Yahweh from the earth, you great sea creatures, and all depths,
Dumisani iNkosi lisemhlabeni, migobho yolwandle, lani zinziki zonke,
8 lightning and hail, snow and clouds, stormy wind, fulfilling his word,
mlilo lesiqhotho, liqhwa elikhithikileyo lenkungu, siphepho esenza ilizwi layo;
9 mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars,
zintaba lamaqaqa wonke, zihlahla zezithelo lemisedari yonke,
10 wild animals and all livestock, small creatures and flying birds,
zinyamazana zeganga lezifuyo zonke, zinto ezihuquzelayo lenyoni eziphaphayo.
11 kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all judges of the earth,
Makhosi omhlaba, lani zizwe zonke, ziphathamandla, lani babusi bomhlaba,
12 both young men and maidens, old men and children.
majaha, lani-ke zintombi, maxhegu labatsha.
13 Let them praise Yahweh’s name, for his name alone is exalted. His glory is above the earth and the heavens.
Kabadumise ibizo leNkosi, ngoba ibizo layo lodwa liphakeme; ubukhosi bayo buphezu komhlaba lamazulu.
14 He has lifted up the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints, even of the children of Israel, a people near to him. Praise Yah!
Njalo iphakamisile uphondo lwabantu bayo, indumiso yabo bonke abangcwele bayo, eyabantwana bakoIsrayeli, abantu abaseduze layo. Dumisani iNkosi!
