Psalms 113

1 Nkembo kuidi Yave! Luzitisa Yave luzitisa beno bisadi bi Yave; luzitisa dizina di Yave.

Alleluia. Praise the Lord, you servants [of his], praise, the name of the Lord.

2 Bika dizina di Yave dizitusu tona buabu nate mu zithangu zioso;

Let the name of the Lord be blessed, from this present time and for ever.

3 Bika dizina di Yave dizitusu tona kuntotukilanga thangu nate ku buangu yeti diamina.

From the rising of the sun to his setting, the name of the Lord is to be praised.

4 Yave widi wuyayusu ku yilu makanda moso, nkembo andi ku mbata diyilu.

The Lord is high above all the nations; his glory is above the heavens.

5 Nani dedikini banga Yave, Nzambi, eto niandi wutula kundu kiandi ki kipfumu ku yilu

Who is as the Lord our God? who dwells in the high places,

6 mutu wowo weti yinama mu tala diyilu ayi ntoto e?

and [yet] looks upon the low things in heaven, and on the earth:

7 Weti totula nsukami mu mbungi-mbungi; ayi niandi weti vumbula nkua kiadi mu dikuka di dibombi.

who lifts up the poor from the earth, and raises up the needy from the dunghill;

8 Weti kuba vuandisa va kimosi ayi bana ba mintinu va kimosi ayi bana ba mintinu mi batu bawu.

to set him with princes, [even] with the princes of his people:

9 Niandi wuvuandisa sita ki nketo mu nzo; banga ngudi yi bana yilembo moni khini Luzitisa Yave.

who settles the barren [woman] in a house, [as] a mother rejoicing over children.
