1 Dumisani iNkosi! Dumisani, zinceku zeNkosi, dumisani ibizo leNkosi.
Alleluia. Praise the Lord, you servants [of his], praise, the name of the Lord.
2 Kalibongwe ibizo leNkosi kusukela khathesi njalo kuze kube nininini.
Let the name of the Lord be blessed, from this present time and for ever.
3 Kusukela ekuphumeni kwelanga kuze kube sekutshoneni kwalo ibizo leNkosi kalidunyiswe.
From the rising of the sun to his setting, the name of the Lord is to be praised.
4 INkosi iphakeme phezu kwezizwe zonke, ubukhosi bayo buphezu kwamazulu.
The Lord is high above all the nations; his glory is above the heavens.
5 Ngubani onjengeNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu, ehlezi phezulu,
Who is as the Lord our God? who dwells in the high places,
6 ekhothama ukukhangela emazulwini lemhlabeni?
and [yet] looks upon the low things in heaven, and on the earth:
7 Iyamvusa umyanga ethulini, imphakamise osweleyo enqunjini yomquba,
who lifts up the poor from the earth, and raises up the needy from the dunghill;
8 ukuze imhlalise leziphathamandla, kanye leziphathamandla zabantu bayo.
to set him with princes, [even] with the princes of his people:
9 Ihlalisa inyumba emzini, unina wabantwana othokozayo. Dumisani iNkosi!
who settles the barren [woman] in a house, [as] a mother rejoicing over children.
