1 Dumisani iNkosi! Dumisani, zinceku zeNkosi, dumisani ibizo leNkosi.
Praise you the LORD. Praise, O you servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD.
2 Kalibongwe ibizo leNkosi kusukela khathesi njalo kuze kube nininini.
Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and for ever more.
3 Kusukela ekuphumeni kwelanga kuze kube sekutshoneni kwalo ibizo leNkosi kalidunyiswe.
From the rising of the sun to the going down of the same the LORD’s name is to be praised.
4 INkosi iphakeme phezu kwezizwe zonke, ubukhosi bayo buphezu kwamazulu.
The LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens.
5 Ngubani onjengeNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu, ehlezi phezulu,
Who is like to the LORD our God, who dwells on high,
6 ekhothama ukukhangela emazulwini lemhlabeni?
Who humbles himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth!
7 Iyamvusa umyanga ethulini, imphakamise osweleyo enqunjini yomquba,
He raises up the poor out of the dust, and lifts the needy out of the dunghill;
8 ukuze imhlalise leziphathamandla, kanye leziphathamandla zabantu bayo.
That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people.
9 Ihlalisa inyumba emzini, unina wabantwana othokozayo. Dumisani iNkosi!
He makes the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise you the LORD.
