1 Wozani sihlabelele ngentokozo kuThixo; kasihlokomeni kamnandi kulo iDwala lokusindiswa kwethu.
O come, let us sing unto the Lord: let us shout joyfully to the rock of our salvation.
2 Kasizeni phambi kwakhe ngokubonga simdumise ngamachacho langengoma.
Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and shout joyfully unto him with psalms.
3 Ngoba uThixo unguNkulunkulu omkhulu, iNkosi enkulu ngaphezu kwabonkulunkulu bonke.
For a great God is the Lord, and a great King above all Gods;
4 Inziki zomhlaba zisezandleni zakhe, leziqongo zezintaba ngezakhe.
In whose hand are the deep places of the earth; and whose are the heights of mountains;
5 Ngolwakhe ulwandle ngoba walwenza, lezandla zakhe zawenza umhlaba owomileyo.
Whose is the sea, and who hath made it; and whose hands have formed the dry land.
6 Wozani, kasikhothame simkhonze, kasiguqe phambi kukaThixo uMenzi wethu;
Oh come, let us prostrate ourselves and bow down: let us kneel 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 of his pasture, and the flock of his hand: yea, this day, if ye will hearken to his voice,
8 lingazenzi lukhuni inhliziyo zenu njengoba lenzenjalo eMeribha, njengelakwenza ngaleliyana ilanga eMasa enkangala,
Harden not your heart, as at Meribah, as on the day of the temptation in the wilderness:
9 lapho okhokho benu abangilinga khona bengizama, lanxa babekubonile engakwenzayo.
When your fathers tempted me, proved me, although they had seen my doing.
10 Okweminyaka engamatshumi amane ngangisizondele lesosizukulwane; ngathi, “Bangabantu onhliziyo zabo ziyahlanhlatha, njalo kabazazanga izindlela zami.”
Forty years long did I feel loathing on that generation, and I said, It is a people of an erring heart; and they truly acknowledged not my ways:
11 Ngakho ngamemezela ngesifungo ekuthukutheleni kwami ngathi, “Kabayikungena ekuphumuleni kwami.”
So that I swore in my wrath, that they should not enter into my rest.
