Amahubo 113

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

Hallelujah. Praise, O ye servants of the Lord, praise ye 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 time forth and for evermore.

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

From the rising of the sun unto his going down the name of the Lord is praised.

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

High above all nations is the Lord, above the heavens is his glory.

5 Ngubani onjengeNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu, ehlezi phezulu,

Who is like the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high?

6 ekhothama ukukhangela emazulwini lemhlabeni?

Who condescendeth to view what is done in the heavens, and on the earth?

7 Iyamvusa umyanga ethulini, imphakamise osweleyo enqunjini yomquba,

He raiseth up out of the dust the poor, from the dunghill he lifteth up the needy:

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 causeth the barren woman to dwell in the midst of [her] household, the joyful mother of children. Hallelujah.
