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 and for evermore.
3 Kusukela ekuphumeni kwelanga kuze kube sekutshoneni kwalo ibizo leNkosi kalidunyiswe.
From the rising of the sun to the going down of the same the LORD'S name [is] to be praised.
4 INkosi iphakeme phezu kwezizwe zonke, ubukhosi bayo buphezu kwamazulu.
The LORD [is] high above all nations, [and] his glory above the heavens.
5 Ngubani onjengeNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu, ehlezi phezulu,
Who [is] like to the LORD our God, who dwelleth on high.
6 ekhothama ukukhangela emazulwini lemhlabeni?
Who humbleth [himself] to behold [the things that are] in heaven, and in the earth!
7 Iyamvusa umyanga ethulini, imphakamise osweleyo enqunjini yomquba,
He raiseth the poor out of the dust, [and] lifteth the needy out of the dunghill;
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 maketh the barren woman to keep house, [and to be] a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD.
