1 Dumisani uThixo. Dumisani uThixo emazulwini, mdumiseni eziqongweni ngaphezulu.
Praise YAH! Praise YHWH from the heavens, Praise Him in high places.
2 Mdumiseni zingilosi zakhe zonke, mdumiseni lonke mabutho asezulwini.
Praise Him, all His messengers, Praise Him, all His hosts.
3 Mdumiseni, langa lenyanga, mdumiseni lonke zinkanyezi ezikhazimulayo.
Praise Him, sun and moon, Praise Him, all stars of light.
4 Mdumiseni lina ziqongo zamazulu lani manzi ngaphezulu komkhathi.
Praise Him, heavens of heavens, And you waters that are above the heavens.
5 Konke kakudumise ibizo likaThixo ngoba yena watsho ilizwi kwadaleka.
They praise the Name of YHWH, For He commanded, and they were created.
6 Wazibeka ezindaweni zazo okwanini lanini; wanika isahlulelo esingela kuguquka.
And He establishes them forever and for all time, He gave a statute, and they do not pass over.
7 Dumisani uThixo emhlabeni, lina zidalwa zasolwandle lezinziki zalo zonke,
Praise YHWH from the earth, Dragons and all deeps,
8 umbane lesiqhotho, ungqwaqwane lamayezi, umoya wesiphepho owenza intando yakhe,
Fire and hail, snow and vapor, Whirlwind doing His word;
9 lina zintaba lamaqaqa wonke, zihlahla zezithelo lemisedari yonke,
The mountains and all heights, Fruit tree, and all cedars,
10 zinyamazana zeganga lenkomo zonke, zinanakazana lezinyoni eziphaphayo,
The wild beast, and all livestock, Creeping thing, and winged bird,
11 makhosi omhlaba lezizwe zonke, lina makhosana lababusi bonke emhlabeni,
Kings of earth, and all peoples, Chiefs, and all judges of earth,
12 majaha lezintombi, maxhegu labantwana.
Young men, and also maidens, Aged men, with youths,
13 Kabalidumise ibizo likaThixo, ngoba ibizo lakhe lodwa liphakeme; inkazimulo yakhe ingaphezulu komhlaba lamazulu.
They praise the Name of YHWH, For His Name alone has been set on high, His splendor [is] above earth and heavens.
14 Ubaphakamisele abantu bakhe uphondo, indumiso yabo bonke abathembekileyo bakhe, eka-Israyeli, abantu abasesifubeni sakhe. Dumisani uThixo.
And He exalts the horn of His people, The praise of all His saints, Of the sons of Israel, A people near Him. Praise YAH!
