Amahubo 113

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, even for ever!

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

From the rising of the sun to its going down, May the LORD'S name be praised!

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

The LORD is high above all nations; His glory is above the heavens.

5 Ngubani onjengeNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu, ehlezi phezulu,

Who is like the LORD, our God, That dwelleth on high,

6 ekhothama ukukhangela emazulwini lemhlabeni?

That looketh down low Upon the heavens and the earth?

7 Iyamvusa umyanga ethulini, imphakamise osweleyo enqunjini yomquba,

He raiseth the poor from the dust, And exalteth the needy from the dunghill,

8 ukuze imhlalise leziphathamandla, kanye leziphathamandla zabantu bayo.

To set him among princes, Even among the princes of his people.

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

He causeth the barren woman to dwell in a house, A joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD!
