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 and for evermore.
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 the LORD'S name [is] to be praised.
4 UThixo uphakeme ngaphezu kwezizwe zonke, inkazimulo yakhe ngaphezulu kwamazulu.
The LORD [is] high above all nations, [and] his glory above the heavens.
5 Ngubani na onjengoThixo uNkulunkulu wethu, oNguye ohlezi ebukhosini phezulu,
Who [is] like to the LORD our God, who dwelleth on high.
6 okhothama akhangele phansi emazulwini lasemhlabeni?
Who humbleth [himself] to behold [the things that are] in heaven, and in the earth!
7 Uyabavusa abampofu othulini, aphakamise abaswelayo esilotheni;
He raiseth the poor out of the dust, [and] lifteth the needy out of the dunghill;
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 maketh the barren woman to keep house, [and to be] a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD.
