Amahubo 113

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

Hallelujah. Praise the Lord, you his servants, praise the name of the Lord.

2 Kalibongwe ibizo leNkosi kusukela khathesi njalo kuze kube nininini.

The name of the Lord be blessed from now and for evermore.

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

From sunrise to sunset is the name of the Lord to be praised.

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

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

5 Ngubani onjengeNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu, ehlezi phezulu,

Who is like the Lord our God, seated on high?

6 ekhothama ukukhangela emazulwini lemhlabeni?

He bends down to look at the heavens and earth.

7 Iyamvusa umyanga ethulini, imphakamise osweleyo enqunjini yomquba,

He raises the weak from the dust, he lifts the poor from the dunghill,

8 ukuze imhlalise leziphathamandla, kanye leziphathamandla zabantu bayo.

and sets them beside the princes, even the princes of his people.

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

He gives the childless woman a home, and makes her the happy mother of children. Hallelujah.
