Psalms 148
1 Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord from heaven; praise him in the heights above!
Dumisani iNkosi! Dumisani iNkosi lisemazulwini, idumiseni endaweni eziphezulu.
2 Praise him, all his angels; praise him, all his heavenly armies!
Idumiseni lonke zingilosi zayo. Idumiseni lonke mabandla ayo.
3 Praise him, sun and moon! Praise him, all you shining stars!
Idumiseni langa lenyanga. Idumiseni lonke zinkanyezi ezikhanyayo.
4 Praise him, highest heavens, and the waters above the heavens!
Idumiseni mazulu amazulu, lani manzi aphezu kwamazulu.
5 Let them all praise the Lord and his nature, for he gave the order and they were created.
Kakudumise ibizo leNkosi; ngoba yona yalaya, kwasekudalwa.
6 He placed them in their positions forever and ever; he established a law that will never end.
Yakumisa kuze kube nini lanini; yakhupha isimiso esingayikwedlula.
7 Praise the Lord from the earth, and creatures from all the depths of the seas,
Dumisani iNkosi lisemhlabeni, migobho yolwandle, lani zinziki zonke,
8 lightning and hail, snow and clouds, and stormy wind—everything that does as he commands.
mlilo lesiqhotho, liqhwa elikhithikileyo lenkungu, siphepho esenza ilizwi layo;
9 Mountains and all the hills, fruit trees and all the trees of the forest,
zintaba lamaqaqa wonke, zihlahla zezithelo lemisedari yonke,
10 wild animals and all livestock, crawling animals and wild birds,
zinyamazana zeganga lezifuyo zonke, zinto ezihuquzelayo lenyoni eziphaphayo.
11 earthly kings and all peoples, leaders and rulers of the world,
Makhosi omhlaba, lani zizwe zonke, ziphathamandla, lani babusi bomhlaba,
12 young men and women, old people and children—
majaha, lani-ke zintombi, maxhegu labatsha.
13 Let them all praise the Lord, for his reputation is unequalled; his glory is above anything on earth or in heaven.
Kabadumise ibizo leNkosi, ngoba ibizo layo lodwa liphakeme; ubukhosi bayo buphezu komhlaba lamazulu.
14 He has given his people a source of strength, bringing praise to his faithful followers, the people of Israel who are dear to him. Praise the Lord!
Njalo iphakamisile uphondo lwabantu bayo, indumiso yabo bonke abangcwele bayo, eyabantwana bakoIsrayeli, abantu abaseduze layo. Dumisani iNkosi!
