1 Wozani, siyihlabelele iNkosi, senze umsindo wentokozo kulo idwala losindiso lwethu.
Come, let's sing for joy to the Lord! Let's shout in triumph to the rock of our salvation!
2 Kasize phambi kobuso bayo ngokubonga, senze umsindo wentokozo kuyo ngezihlabelelo.
Let's go before him with thanksgiving! Let's sing loudly to him in celebration!
3 Ngoba iNkosi inguNkulunkulu omkhulu, leNkosi enkulu phezu kwabonkulunkulu bonke.
For the Lord is a great God, a great king above all gods.
4 Okusesandleni sayo indawo zomhlaba ezizikileyo, lezingqonga zezintaba zingezayo.
He rules over the depths of the earth and the heights of the mountains.
5 Olungolwayo ulwandle, yona-ke yalwenza, lezandla zayo zabumba umhlabathi owomileyo.
The sea is his, because he made it; the dry land, because he formed it.
6 Wozani, sikhonze sikhothame, siguqe phambi kweNkosi, umenzi wethu.
Come, let's enter in and worship, let's kneel before the Lord our Creator.
7 Ngoba yona inguNkulunkulu wethu, thina-ke singabantu bedlelo layo, lezimvu zesandla sayo. Lamuhla uba lilizwa ilizwi layo,
For he is our God, and we are the people he looks after like a shepherd, the flock he cares for. If you hear his voice calling you today,
8 lingayenzi ibe lukhuni inhliziyo yenu njengekuphikisaneni, njengesukwini lokulinga enkangala,
don't have a hard-hearted attitude, “as you did at Meribah, as you did that day at Massah in the desert,
9 lapho oyihlo bangilinga bengihlola, yebo babona umsebenzi wami.
when your forefathers provoked me, testing my patience, even though they had seen everything I'd done.
10 Iminyaka engamatshumi amane nganengwa yilesisizukulwana ngaze ngathi: Bangabantu abaduhayo enhliziyweni, bona kabazazi indlela zami.
For forty years I was disgusted with that generation, and I said, ‘They are people who are unfaithful to me in their minds, and they refuse to accept my ways.’
11 Engafunga kubo ekuthukutheleni kwami, ngathi: Kabayikungena ekuphumuleni kwami.
So in my frustration I vowed, ‘They will certainly not enter my rest.’”
