Amahubo 113

1 Dumisani iNkosi! Dumisani, zinceku zeNkosi, dumisani ibizo leNkosi.

Alleluia. Praise the Lord, children. Praise the name of the Lord.

2 Kalibongwe ibizo leNkosi kusukela khathesi njalo kuze kube nininini.

Blessed is the name of the Lord, from this time forward and even forever.

3 Kusukela ekuphumeni kwelanga kuze kube sekutshoneni kwalo ibizo leNkosi kalidunyiswe.

From the rising of the sun, even to its setting, praiseworthy is the name of the Lord.

4 INkosi iphakeme phezu kwezizwe zonke, ubukhosi bayo buphezu kwamazulu.

The Lord is high above all nations, and his glory is high above the heavens.

5 Ngubani onjengeNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu, ehlezi phezulu,

Who is like the Lord, our God, who dwells on high,

6 ekhothama ukukhangela emazulwini lemhlabeni?

and who gazes upon the humble things in heaven and on earth?

7 Iyamvusa umyanga ethulini, imphakamise osweleyo enqunjini yomquba,

He lifts up the needy from the ground, and he urges the poor away from filth,

8 ukuze imhlalise leziphathamandla, kanye leziphathamandla zabantu bayo.

so that he may place him with the leaders, with the leaders of his people.

9 Ihlalisa inyumba emzini, unina wabantwana othokozayo. Dumisani iNkosi!

He causes a barren woman to live in a house, as the joyful mother of sons.
