1 Wozani sihlabelele ngentokozo kuThixo; kasihlokomeni kamnandi kulo iDwala lokusindiswa kwethu.
O come, let us make songs to the Lord; sending up glad voices to the Rock of our salvation.
2 Kasizeni phambi kwakhe ngokubonga simdumise ngamachacho langengoma.
Let us come before his face with praises; and make melody with holy songs.
3 Ngoba uThixo unguNkulunkulu omkhulu, iNkosi enkulu ngaphezu kwabonkulunkulu bonke.
For the Lord is a great God, and a great King over all gods.
4 Inziki zomhlaba zisezandleni zakhe, leziqongo zezintaba ngezakhe.
The deep places of the earth are in his hand; and the tops of the mountains are his.
5 Ngolwakhe ulwandle ngoba walwenza, lezandla zakhe zawenza umhlaba owomileyo.
The sea is his, and he made it; and the dry land was formed by his hands.
6 Wozani, kasikhothame simkhonze, kasiguqe phambi kukaThixo uMenzi wethu;
O come, let us give worship, falling down on our knees before the Lord our Maker.
7 ngoba unguNkulunkulu wethu, thina singabantu bedlelo lakhe, umhlambi awunakekelayo. Lamhla, nxa lisizwa ilizwi lakhe,
For he is our God; and we are the people to whom he gives food, and the sheep of his flock. Today, if you would only give ear to his voice!
8 lingazenzi lukhuni inhliziyo zenu njengoba lenzenjalo eMeribha, njengelakwenza ngaleliyana ilanga eMasa enkangala,
Let not your hearts be hard, as at Meribah, as in the day of Massah in the waste land;
9 lapho okhokho benu abangilinga khona bengizama, lanxa babekubonile engakwenzayo.
When your fathers put me to the test and saw my power and my work.
10 Okweminyaka engamatshumi amane ngangisizondele lesosizukulwane; ngathi, “Bangabantu onhliziyo zabo ziyahlanhlatha, njalo kabazazanga izindlela zami.”
For forty years I was angry with this generation, and said, They are a people whose hearts are turned away from me, for they have no knowledge of my ways;
11 Ngakho ngamemezela ngesifungo ekuthukutheleni kwami ngathi, “Kabayikungena ekuphumuleni kwami.”
And I made an oath in my wrath, that they might not come into my place of rest.
