1 Dumisani iNkosi! Dumisani, zinceku zeNkosi, dumisani ibizo leNkosi.
PRAISE ye the Lord. Praise, O ye 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 evermore.
3 Kusukela ekuphumeni kwelanga kuze kube sekutshoneni kwalo ibizo leNkosi kalidunyiswe.
From the rising of the sun unto 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 unto the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high,
6 ekhothama ukukhangela emazulwini lemhlabeni?
Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth!
7 Iyamvusa umyanga ethulini, imphakamise osweleyo enqunjini yomquba,
He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth 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 maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the Lord.
