Amahubo 113

1 Dumisani uThixo. Dumisani uThixo, lina zinceku zakhe, dumisani ibizo likaThixo.

Praise ye the LORD! Praise, O ye servants of the LORD! Praise the name of the LORD!

2 Kalidunyiswe ibizo likaThixo, khona manje kanye laphakade.

Blessed be the name of the LORD From this time forth, even for ever!

3 Kusukela okuphuma khona ilanga kusiyafika lapho elitshona khona, kufanele lidunyiswe ibizo likaThixo.

From the rising of the sun to its going down, May the LORD'S name be praised!

4 UThixo uphakeme ngaphezu kwezizwe zonke, inkazimulo yakhe ngaphezulu kwamazulu.

The LORD is high above all nations; His glory is above the heavens.

5 Ngubani na onjengoThixo uNkulunkulu wethu, oNguye ohlezi ebukhosini phezulu,

Who is like the LORD, our God, That dwelleth on high,

6 okhothama akhangele phansi emazulwini lasemhlabeni?

That looketh down low Upon the heavens and the earth?

7 Uyabavusa abampofu othulini, aphakamise abaswelayo esilotheni;

He raiseth the poor from the dust, And exalteth the needy from the dunghill,

8 abahlalise lamakhosana, amakhosana abantu bakibo.

To set him among princes, Even among the princes of his people.

9 Lomfazi oyinyumba umenza ahlale kuhle emzini wakhe afane lalowo ongunina wabantwana. Dumisani uThixo.

He causeth the barren woman to dwell in a house, A joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD!
