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

Halleluyah ·praise Yah·! Praise, you servants of Adonai, praise Adonai’s name.

2 Kalidunyiswe ibizo likaThixo, khona manje kanye laphakade.

Blessed be Adonai’s name, from this time forward and forever more.

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

From the rising of the sun to the going down of the same, Adonai’s name is to be praised.

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

Adonai is high above all nations, his kavod ·weighty glory· above the heavens.

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

Who is like Adonai, our God, who has his seat on high,

6 okhothama akhangele phansi emazulwini lasemhlabeni?

Who stoops down to see in heaven and in the earth?

7 Uyabavusa abampofu othulini, aphakamise abaswelayo esilotheni;

He raises up the poor out of the dust. Lifts up the needy from the ash heap;

8 abahlalise lamakhosana, amakhosana abantu bakibo.

that he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people.

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

He settles the barren woman in her home, as a joyful mother of children. Halleluyah ·praise Yah·!
