Amahubo 111

1 Dumisani uThixo. Ngizambabaza uThixo ngenhliziyo yami yonke enkundleni yabaqotho lasemhlanganweni.

Praise ye the LORD! I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, In the assembly of the righteous, and in the congregation.

2 Mikhulu imisebenzi kaThixo; isemicabangweni yabo bonke abathokoza ngayo.

The works of the LORD are great, Sought out by all who have pleasure in them.

3 Zilenkazimulo lobukhosi izenzo zakhe, lokulunga Kwakhe kumi kuze kube laphakade.

His deeds are honorable and glorious, And his righteousness endureth for ever.

4 Wenzile ukuthi izimanga zakhe zikhunjulwe; uThixo ulomusa lesihawu.

He hath established a memorial of his wonders; The LORD is gracious and full of compassion.

5 Uyabapha ukudla labo abamesabayo; uyasikhumbula isivumelwano Sakhe lanini.

He giveth meat to them that fear him; He is ever mindful of his covenant.

6 Ubatshengisile abantu bakhe amandla emisebenzi yakhe, ngokubapha amazwe ezinye izizwe.

He showed his people the greatness of his works, When he gave them the inheritance of the heathen.

7 Imisebenzi yezandla zakhe ithembekile, ilungile; zonke iziqondiso zakhe ziyathembeka.

The deeds of his hands are truth and justice; All his commandments are sure;

8 Zimi kaziguquki nini lanini, zenziwa ngeqiniso langobuqotho.

They stand firm for ever and ever, Being founded in truth and justice.

9 Wathumela abantu bakhe insindiso; wasingcwelisa isivumelwano Sakhe okwanininini lingcwele liyesabeka ibizo lakhe.

He sent redemption to his people; He established his covenant for ever; Holy, and to be had in reverence, 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 have all they who keep his commandments; His praise endureth for ever.
