1 Dumisani iNkosi! Dumisani iNkosi lisemazulwini, idumiseni endaweni eziphezulu.
Praise YAH! Praise YHWH from the heavens, Praise Him in high places.
2 Idumiseni lonke zingilosi zayo. Idumiseni lonke mabandla ayo.
Praise Him, all His messengers, Praise Him, all His hosts.
3 Idumiseni langa lenyanga. Idumiseni lonke zinkanyezi ezikhanyayo.
Praise Him, sun and moon, Praise Him, all stars of light.
4 Idumiseni mazulu amazulu, lani manzi aphezu kwamazulu.
Praise Him, heavens of heavens, And you waters that are above the heavens.
5 Kakudumise ibizo leNkosi; ngoba yona yalaya, kwasekudalwa.
They praise the Name of YHWH, For He commanded, and they were created.
6 Yakumisa kuze kube nini lanini; yakhupha isimiso esingayikwedlula.
And He establishes them forever and for all time, He gave a statute, and they do not pass over.
7 Dumisani iNkosi lisemhlabeni, migobho yolwandle, lani zinziki zonke,
Praise YHWH from the earth, Dragons and all deeps,
8 mlilo lesiqhotho, liqhwa elikhithikileyo lenkungu, siphepho esenza ilizwi layo;
Fire and hail, snow and vapor, Whirlwind doing His word;
9 zintaba lamaqaqa wonke, zihlahla zezithelo lemisedari yonke,
The mountains and all heights, Fruit tree, and all cedars,
10 zinyamazana zeganga lezifuyo zonke, zinto ezihuquzelayo lenyoni eziphaphayo.
The wild beast, and all livestock, Creeping thing, and winged bird,
11 Makhosi omhlaba, lani zizwe zonke, ziphathamandla, lani babusi bomhlaba,
Kings of earth, and all peoples, Chiefs, and all judges of earth,
12 majaha, lani-ke zintombi, maxhegu labatsha.
Young men, and also maidens, Aged men, with youths,
13 Kabadumise ibizo leNkosi, ngoba ibizo layo lodwa liphakeme; ubukhosi bayo buphezu komhlaba lamazulu.
They praise the Name of YHWH, For His Name alone has been set on high, His splendor [is] above earth and heavens.
14 Njalo iphakamisile uphondo lwabantu bayo, indumiso yabo bonke abangcwele bayo, eyabantwana bakoIsrayeli, abantu abaseduze layo. Dumisani iNkosi!
And He exalts the horn of His people, The praise of all His saints, Of the sons of Israel, A people near Him. Praise YAH!
