Psalms 148
1 Praise Yah! Praise Yahweh from the heavens! Praise him in the heights!
Dumisani uThixo. Dumisani uThixo emazulwini, mdumiseni eziqongweni ngaphezulu.
2 Praise him, all his angels! Praise him, all his army!
Mdumiseni zingilosi zakhe zonke, mdumiseni lonke mabutho asezulwini.
3 Praise him, sun and moon! Praise him, all you shining stars!
Mdumiseni, langa lenyanga, mdumiseni lonke zinkanyezi ezikhazimulayo.
4 Praise him, you heavens of heavens, you waters that are above the heavens.
Mdumiseni lina ziqongo zamazulu lani manzi ngaphezulu komkhathi.
5 Let them praise Yahweh’s name, for he commanded, and they were created.
Konke kakudumise ibizo likaThixo ngoba yena watsho ilizwi kwadaleka.
6 He has also established them forever and ever. He has made a decree which will not pass away.
Wazibeka ezindaweni zazo okwanini lanini; wanika isahlulelo esingela kuguquka.
7 Praise Yahweh from the earth, you great sea creatures, and all depths,
Dumisani uThixo emhlabeni, lina zidalwa zasolwandle lezinziki zalo zonke,
8 lightning and hail, snow and clouds, stormy wind, fulfilling his word,
umbane lesiqhotho, ungqwaqwane lamayezi, umoya wesiphepho owenza intando yakhe,
9 mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars,
lina zintaba lamaqaqa wonke, zihlahla zezithelo lemisedari yonke,
10 wild animals and all livestock, small creatures and flying birds,
zinyamazana zeganga lenkomo zonke, zinanakazana lezinyoni eziphaphayo,
11 kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all judges of the earth,
makhosi omhlaba lezizwe zonke, lina makhosana lababusi bonke emhlabeni,
12 both young men and maidens, old men and children.
majaha lezintombi, maxhegu labantwana.
13 Let them praise Yahweh’s name, for his name alone is exalted. His glory is above the earth and the heavens.
Kabalidumise ibizo likaThixo, ngoba ibizo lakhe lodwa liphakeme; inkazimulo yakhe ingaphezulu komhlaba lamazulu.
14 He has lifted up the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints, even of the children of Israel, a people near to him. Praise Yah!
Ubaphakamisele abantu bakhe uphondo, indumiso yabo bonke abathembekileyo bakhe, eka-Israyeli, abantu abasesifubeni sakhe. Dumisani uThixo.
