to make known to the sons of men thy power, and the glorious majesty of thy kingdom.
13 Umbuso wakho ungumbuso ongapheliyo, lobukhosi bakho bumi kuzozonke izizukulwane. UThixo uthembekile kuzozonke izithembiso zakhe njalo ulothando kukho konke akwenzayo.

The Lord supports all that are falling, and sets up all that are broken down.
15 Amehlo abo bonke akhangela kuwe, wena ubaphe ukudla kwabo ngesikhathi esifaneleyo.
The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest [them] their food in due season.

18 UThixo useduze kulabo abacela kuye, kubo bonke abacela kuye ngeqiniso.
The Lord is near to all that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.
19 Uyagcwalisa izidingo zalabo abamesabayo; uyezwa ukukhala kwabo abasindise.
He will perform the desire of them that fear him: and he will hear their supplication, and save them.
20 UThixo uyabalinda bonke abamthandayo, kodwa bonke ababi uzababhubhisa.
The Lord preserves all that love him: but all sinners he will utterly destroy.

My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord: and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.
