Amahubo 148
1 Dumisani uThixo. Dumisani uThixo emazulwini, mdumiseni eziqongweni ngaphezulu.
PRAISE ye the Lord. Praise ye the Lord from the heavens: praise him in the heights.
2 Mdumiseni zingilosi zakhe zonke, mdumiseni lonke mabutho asezulwini.
Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts.
3 Mdumiseni, langa lenyanga, mdumiseni lonke zinkanyezi ezikhazimulayo.
Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light.
4 Mdumiseni lina ziqongo zamazulu lani manzi ngaphezulu komkhathi.
Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens.
5 Konke kakudumise ibizo likaThixo ngoba yena watsho ilizwi kwadaleka.
Let them praise the name of the Lord: for he commanded, and they were created.
6 Wazibeka ezindaweni zazo okwanini lanini; wanika isahlulelo esingela kuguquka.
He hath also stablished them for ever and ever: he hath made a decree which shall not pass.
7 Dumisani uThixo emhlabeni, lina zidalwa zasolwandle lezinziki zalo zonke,
Praise the Lord from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps:
8 umbane lesiqhotho, ungqwaqwane lamayezi, umoya wesiphepho owenza intando yakhe,
Fire, and hail; snow, and vapour; stormy wind fulfilling his word:
9 lina zintaba lamaqaqa wonke, zihlahla zezithelo lemisedari yonke,
Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars:
10 zinyamazana zeganga lenkomo zonke, zinanakazana lezinyoni eziphaphayo,
Beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and flying fowl:
11 makhosi omhlaba lezizwe zonke, lina makhosana lababusi bonke emhlabeni,
Kings of the earth, and all people; princes, and all judges of the earth:
12 majaha lezintombi, maxhegu labantwana.
Both young men, and maidens; old men, and children:
13 Kabalidumise ibizo likaThixo, ngoba ibizo lakhe lodwa liphakeme; inkazimulo yakhe ingaphezulu komhlaba lamazulu.
Let them praise the name of the Lord: for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven.
14 Ubaphakamisele abantu bakhe uphondo, indumiso yabo bonke abathembekileyo bakhe, eka-Israyeli, abantu abasesifubeni sakhe. Dumisani uThixo.
He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise ye the Lord.
