< Amahubo 111 >
1 Dumisani uThixo. Ngizambabaza uThixo ngenhliziyo yami yonke enkundleni yabaqotho lasemhlanganweni.
I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; in the council of the just: and in the congregation.
2 Mikhulu imisebenzi kaThixo; isemicabangweni yabo bonke abathokoza ngayo.
Great are the works of the Lord: sought out according to all his wills.
3 Zilenkazimulo lobukhosi izenzo zakhe, lokulunga Kwakhe kumi kuze kube laphakade.
His work is praise and magnificence: and his justice continueth for ever and ever.
4 Wenzile ukuthi izimanga zakhe zikhunjulwe; uThixo ulomusa lesihawu.
He hath made a remembrance of his wonderful works, being a merciful and gracious Lord:
5 Uyabapha ukudla labo abamesabayo; uyasikhumbula isivumelwano Sakhe lanini.
He hath given food to them that fear him. He will be mindful for ever of his covenant:
6 Ubatshengisile abantu bakhe amandla emisebenzi yakhe, ngokubapha amazwe ezinye izizwe.
He will shew forth to his people the power of his works.
7 Imisebenzi yezandla zakhe ithembekile, ilungile; zonke iziqondiso zakhe ziyathembeka.
That he may give them the inheritance of the Gentiles: the works of his hands are truth and judgment.
8 Zimi kaziguquki nini lanini, zenziwa ngeqiniso langobuqotho.
All his commandments are faithful: confirmed for ever and ever, made in truth and equity.
9 Wathumela abantu bakhe insindiso; wasingcwelisa isivumelwano Sakhe okwanininini lingcwele liyesabeka ibizo lakhe.
He hath sent redemption to his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever. Holy and terrible is his name:
10 Ukumesaba uThixo kuyikuqala kwenhlakanipho bonke abalandela iziqondiso zakhe balokuzwisisa okuhle. Kungokwakhe ukudunyiswa kwaphakade.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. A good understanding to all that do it: his praise continueth for ever and ever.
