Amahubo 113

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

Praise the LORD! Praise, you servants of the LORD, praise the LORD’s name.

2 Kalibongwe ibizo leNkosi kusukela khathesi njalo kuze kube nininini.

Blessed be the LORD’s name, from this time forward and forever more.

3 Kusukela ekuphumeni kwelanga kuze kube sekutshoneni kwalo ibizo leNkosi kalidunyiswe.

From the rising of the sun to its going down, the LORD’s name is to be praised.

4 INkosi iphakeme phezu kwezizwe zonke, ubukhosi bayo buphezu kwamazulu.

The LORD is high above all nations, his glory above the heavens.

5 Ngubani onjengeNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu, ehlezi phezulu,

Who is like the LORD, our God, who has his seat on high,

6 ekhothama ukukhangela emazulwini lemhlabeni?

who stoops down to see in heaven and in the earth?

7 Iyamvusa umyanga ethulini, imphakamise osweleyo enqunjini yomquba,

He raises up the poor out of the dust, and lifts up the needy from the ash heap,

8 ukuze imhlalise leziphathamandla, kanye leziphathamandla zabantu bayo.

that he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people.

9 Ihlalisa inyumba emzini, unina wabantwana othokozayo. Dumisani iNkosi!

He settles the barren woman in her home as a joyful mother of children. Praise the LORD!
