Amahubo 111

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

Praise ye the LORD. I will give thanks unto the LORD with my whole heart, in the council of the upright, and in the congregation.

2 Mikhulu imisebenzi kaThixo; isemicabangweni yabo bonke abathokoza ngayo.

The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.

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

His work is honour and majesty: and his righteousness endureth for ever.

4 Wenzile ukuthi izimanga zakhe zikhunjulwe; uThixo ulomusa lesihawu.

He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD is gracious and full of compassion.

5 Uyabapha ukudla labo abamesabayo; uyasikhumbula isivumelwano Sakhe lanini.

He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant.

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

He hath shewed his people the power of his works, in giving them the heritage of the nations.

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

The works of his hands are truth and judgment; all his precepts are sure.

8 Zimi kaziguquki nini lanini, zenziwa ngeqiniso langobuqotho.

They are established for ever and ever, they are done in truth and uprightness.

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

He hath sent redemption unto his people; he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend 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 that do thereafter: his praise endureth for ever.
