Amahubo 148
1 Dumisani uThixo. Dumisani uThixo emazulwini, mdumiseni eziqongweni ngaphezulu.
Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD from the heavens! Praise him in the heights!
2 Mdumiseni zingilosi zakhe zonke, mdumiseni lonke mabutho asezulwini.
Praise him, all his angels! Praise him, all his army!
3 Mdumiseni, langa lenyanga, mdumiseni lonke zinkanyezi ezikhazimulayo.
Praise him, sun and moon! Praise him, all you shining stars!
4 Mdumiseni lina ziqongo zamazulu lani manzi ngaphezulu komkhathi.
Praise him, you heavens of heavens, you waters that are above the heavens.
5 Konke kakudumise ibizo likaThixo ngoba yena watsho ilizwi kwadaleka.
Let them praise the LORD’s name, for he commanded, and they were created.
6 Wazibeka ezindaweni zazo okwanini lanini; wanika isahlulelo esingela kuguquka.
He has also established them forever and ever. He has made a decree which will not pass away.
7 Dumisani uThixo emhlabeni, lina zidalwa zasolwandle lezinziki zalo zonke,
Praise the LORD from the earth, you great sea creatures, and all depths,
8 umbane lesiqhotho, ungqwaqwane lamayezi, umoya wesiphepho owenza intando yakhe,
lightning and hail, snow and clouds, stormy wind, fulfilling his word,
9 lina zintaba lamaqaqa wonke, zihlahla zezithelo lemisedari yonke,
mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars,
10 zinyamazana zeganga lenkomo zonke, zinanakazana lezinyoni eziphaphayo,
wild animals and all livestock, small creatures and flying birds,
11 makhosi omhlaba lezizwe zonke, lina makhosana lababusi bonke emhlabeni,
kings of the earth and all peoples, 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 LORD’s name, for his name alone is exalted. His glory is above the earth and the heavens.
14 Ubaphakamisele abantu bakhe uphondo, indumiso yabo bonke abathembekileyo bakhe, eka-Israyeli, abantu abasesifubeni sakhe. Dumisani uThixo.
He has lifted up the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints, even of the children of Israel, a people near to him. Praise the LORD!
