Amahubo 113

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

Praise Yahweh. Praise him, you servants of Yahweh; praise the name of Yahweh.

2 Kalibongwe ibizo leNkosi kusukela khathesi njalo kuze kube nininini.

Blessed be the name of Yahweh, both now and forevermore.

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

From the rising of the sun to its setting, Yahweh's name should be praised.

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

Yahweh is exalted above all nations, and his glory reaches above the skies.

5 Ngubani onjengeNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu, ehlezi phezulu,

Who is like Yahweh our God, who has his seat on high,

6 ekhothama ukukhangela emazulwini lemhlabeni?

who looks down at the sky and at the earth?

7 Iyamvusa umyanga ethulini, imphakamise osweleyo enqunjini yomquba,

He raises up the poor out of the dirt and lifts up the needy from the ash heap,

8 ukuze imhlalise leziphathamandla, kanye leziphathamandla zabantu bayo.

so that he may seat him with princes, with the princes of his people.

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

He gives a home to the barren woman of the house, he makes her a joyful mother of children. Praise Yahweh!
