Amahubo 111

1 Dumisani iNkosi! Ngizayibonga iNkosi ngenhliziyo yonke, emhlanganweni wabaqotho lebandleni.

Praise ye Jehovah. I will give thanks unto Jehovah with my whole heart, In the council of the upright, and in the congregation.

2 Mikhulu imisebenzi yeNkosi, idingwa yilabo abathokoza ngayo.

The works of Jehovah are great, Sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.

3 Ulodumo lenkazimulo umsebenzi wayo, lokulunga kwayo kumi kuze kube nininini.

His work is honor and majesty; And his righteousness endureth for ever.

4 Yenzile izimangaliso zayo zikhunjulwe; iNkosi ilomusa lesihawu.

He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: Jehovah is gracious and merciful.

5 Iyabapha ukudla labo abayesabayo; iyakhumbula kuze kube phakade isivumelwano sayo.

He hath given food unto them that fear him: He will ever be mindful of his covenant.

6 Yazisile abantu bayo amandla emisebenzi yayo, ngokubanika ilifa lezizwe.

He hath showed his people the power of his works, In giving them the heritage of the nations.

7 Imisebenzi yezandla zayo iliqiniso lokwehlulela; imithetho yayo yonke iqinisekile.

The works of his hands are truth and justice; All his precepts are sure.

8 Isekelwe kuze kube phakade laphakade, yenziwa ngeqiniso langobuqotho.

They are established for ever and ever; They are done in truth and uprightness.

9 Yathumela uhlengo ebantwini bayo; ilaye isivumelwano sayo kuze kube nininini; lingcwele liyesabeka ibizo layo.

He hath sent redemption unto his people; He hath commanded his covenant for ever: Holy and reverend is his name.

10 Ukuyesaba iNkosi kuyikuqala kokuhlakanipha; balokuqedisisa okuhle bonke abayenzayo imilayo. Indumiso yayo imi kuze kube nininini.

The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom; A good understanding have all they that do [his commandments]: His praise endureth for ever.
