Amahubo 145
1 Ngizakuphakamisa, Nkulunkulu wami, Nkosi, ngibonge ibizo lakho kuze kube nini lanini.
“A song of praise. By David.” I will extol thee, my God, the King! I will praise thy name for ever and ever!
2 Ngensuku zonke ngizakubonga, ngidumise ibizo lakho kuze kube nini lanini.
Every day will I bless thee, And praise thy name for ever and ever!
3 Yinkulu iNkosi, ifanele ukudunyiswa kakhulu, lobukhulu bayo kabuhloleki.
Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; Yea, his greatness is unsearchable.
4 Isizukulwana ngesizukulwana sizababaza imisebenzi yakho, sitshumayele izenzo zakho ezilamandla.
One generation shall praise thy works to another, And shall declare thy mighty deeds.
5 Ngizakhuluma ngodumo lwakho olukhazimulayo lobukhosi bakho, langendaba zezimangaliso zakho.
I will speak of the glorious honor of thy majesty, And of thy wonderful works.
6 Njalo bazakhuluma ngamandla ezenzo zakho ezesabekayo, lobukhulu bakho ngibulandise.
Men shall speak of the might of thy terrible deeds, And I will declare thy greatness;
7 Bazathulula ngamazwi isikhumbuzo sokulunga kwakho okukhulu, bahlabele ngentokozo ngokulunga kwakho.
They shall pour forth the praise of thy great good And sing of thy righteousness.
8 Ilomusa lesihawu iNkosi, iyaphuza ukuthukuthela, inkulu ngothando.
The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion, Slow to anger, and rich in mercy.
9 INkosi ilungile kubo bonke, lezihawu zayo ziphezu kwayo yonke imisebenzi yayo.
The LORD is good to all. And his tender mercies are over all his works.
10 Imisebenzi yakho yonke izakudumisa, Nkosi, labangcwele bakho bazakubusisa.
All thy works praise thee, O LORD! And thy holy ones bless thee!
11 Bazakhuluma ngenkazimulo yombuso wakho, balandise ngamandla akho.
They speak of the glory of thy kingdom, And talk of thy power;
12 Ukuze bazise abantwana babantu izenzo zayo ezilamandla, lenkazimulo yobukhosi bombuso wayo.
To make known to the sons of men his mighty deeds, And the glorious majesty of his kingdom.
13 Umbuso wakho ungumbuso wamaphakade wonke, lokubusa kwakho kumi kuso sonke isizukulwana ngesizukulwana.
Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, And thy dominion endureth throughout all generations.
14 INkosi isekela bonke abawayo, iphakamise bonke abakhothemeyo.
The LORD upholdeth all that fall, And raiseth up all that are bowed down.
15 Amehlo abo bonke alindele kuwe, wena-ke uyabanika ukudla kwabo ngesikhathi sakho.
The eyes of all wait upon thee, And thou givest them their food in due season;
16 Uyavula isandla sakho, usuthise isifiso sakho konke okuphilayo.
Thou openest thine hand, And satisfiest the desire of every living thing.
17 INkosi ilungile endleleni zayo zonke, njalo ilomusa emisebenzini yayo yonke.
The LORD is righteous in all his ways, And merciful in all his works.
18 INkosi iseduze labo bonke abayibizayo, labo bonke abayibiza ngeqiniso.
The LORD is nigh to all that call upon him, To all that call upon him in truth.
19 Yenza isifiso sabayesabayo, iyezwa ukukhala kwabo, ibasindise.
He fulfilleth the desire of them that fear him; He heareth their cry, and saveth them.
20 INkosi iyabalondoloza bonke abayithandayo; kodwa bonke ababi izababhubhisa.
The LORD preserveth all that love him; But all the wicked he will destroy.
21 Umlomo wami uzakhuluma indumiso yeNkosi, layo yonke inyama ibonge ibizo layo elingcwele kuze kube nini lanini.
My mouth shall speak the praise of the LORD; And let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever!
