Amahubo 111

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

Let the Lord be praised. I will give praise to the Lord with all my heart, among the upright, and in the meeting of the people.

2 Mikhulu imisebenzi yeNkosi, idingwa yilabo abathokoza ngayo.

The works of the Lord are great, searched out by all those who have delight in them.

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

His work is full of honour and glory; and his righteousness is unchanging for ever.

4 Yenzile izimangaliso zayo zikhunjulwe; iNkosi ilomusa lesihawu.

Certain for ever is the memory of his wonders: the Lord is full of pity and mercy.

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

He has given food to his worshippers; he will keep his agreement in mind for ever.

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

He has made clear to his people the power of his works, giving them the heritage of the nations.

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

The works of his hands are faith and righteousness; all his laws are unchanging.

8 Isekelwe kuze kube phakade laphakade, yenziwa ngeqiniso langobuqotho.

They are fixed for ever and ever, they are done in faith and righteousness.

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

He has sent salvation to his people; he has given his word for ever: holy is his name and greatly to be feared.

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

The fear of the Lord is the best part of wisdom: all those who keep his laws are wise: his praise is eternal.
