Psalms 113

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

Dumisani iNkosi! Dumisani, zinceku zeNkosi, dumisani ibizo leNkosi.

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

Kalibongwe ibizo leNkosi kusukela khathesi njalo kuze kube nininini.

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

Kusukela ekuphumeni kwelanga kuze kube sekutshoneni kwalo ibizo leNkosi kalidunyiswe.

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

INkosi iphakeme phezu kwezizwe zonke, ubukhosi bayo buphezu kwamazulu.

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

Ngubani onjengeNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu, ehlezi phezulu,

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

ekhothama ukukhangela emazulwini lemhlabeni?

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

Iyamvusa umyanga ethulini, imphakamise osweleyo enqunjini yomquba,

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

ukuze imhlalise leziphathamandla, kanye leziphathamandla zabantu bayo.

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

Ihlalisa inyumba emzini, unina wabantwana othokozayo. Dumisani iNkosi!
