1 Wozani sihlabelele ngentokozo kuThixo; kasihlokomeni kamnandi kulo iDwala lokusindiswa kwethu.
Come, let us make a joyful noise to Yahweh, Let us shout in triumph, to the rock of our salvation!
2 Kasizeni phambi kwakhe ngokubonga simdumise ngamachacho langengoma.
O let us come before his face with thanksgiving, With the sounds of strings, let us shout aloud to him.
3 Ngoba uThixo unguNkulunkulu omkhulu, iNkosi enkulu ngaphezu kwabonkulunkulu bonke.
For, a great GOD, is Yahweh, And a great king, above all gods.
4 Inziki zomhlaba zisezandleni zakhe, leziqongo zezintaba ngezakhe.
In whose hand, are the hidden recesses of the earth, And, the peaks of the mountains, are his;
5 Ngolwakhe ulwandle ngoba walwenza, lezandla zakhe zawenza umhlaba owomileyo.
Whose, is the sea, for, he, made it, And, the dry land, his hands, did form.
6 Wozani, kasikhothame simkhonze, kasiguqe phambi kukaThixo uMenzi wethu;
Enter! let us bow down, and bend low, Let us kneel, before Yahweh 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? To-day, if, to his voice, ye will hearken,
8 lingazenzi lukhuni inhliziyo zenu njengoba lenzenjalo eMeribha, njengelakwenza ngaleliyana ilanga eMasa enkangala,
Do not harden your heart as at Meribah, As on the day of Massah, in the desert;
9 lapho okhokho benu abangilinga khona bengizama, lanxa babekubonile engakwenzayo.
When your fathers, tested me, They proved me, yea they also saw what I could do.
10 Okweminyaka engamatshumi amane ngangisizondele lesosizukulwane; ngathi, “Bangabantu onhliziyo zabo ziyahlanhlatha, njalo kabazazanga izindlela zami.”
Forty years, loathed I that generation, So I said—A people going astray in heart, they are, Even they, have not known my ways!
11 Ngakho ngamemezela ngesifungo ekuthukutheleni kwami ngathi, “Kabayikungena ekuphumuleni kwami.”
And I sware in mine anger, —Verily they shall not enter into my rest.
