Psalms 148

1 Praise ye the Lord. Praise ye the Lord from the heauen: prayse ye him in the high places.

Dumisani iNkosi! Dumisani iNkosi lisemazulwini, idumiseni endaweni eziphezulu.

2 Prayse ye him, all ye his Angels: praise him, all his armie.

Idumiseni lonke zingilosi zayo. Idumiseni lonke mabandla ayo.

3 Prayse ye him, sunne and moone: prayse ye him all bright starres.

Idumiseni langa lenyanga. Idumiseni lonke zinkanyezi ezikhanyayo.

4 Prayse ye him, heauens of heauens, and waters, that be aboue the heauens.

Idumiseni mazulu amazulu, lani manzi aphezu kwamazulu.

5 Let them prayse the Name of the Lord: for he commanded, and they were created.

Kakudumise ibizo leNkosi; ngoba yona yalaya, kwasekudalwa.

6 And he hath established them for euer and euer: he hath made an ordinance, which shall not passe.

Yakumisa kuze kube nini lanini; yakhupha isimiso esingayikwedlula.

7 Prayse ye the Lord from the earth, ye dragons and all depths:

Dumisani iNkosi lisemhlabeni, migobho yolwandle, lani zinziki zonke,

8 Fire and hayle, snowe and vapours, stormie winde, which execute his worde:

mlilo lesiqhotho, liqhwa elikhithikileyo lenkungu, siphepho esenza ilizwi layo;

9 Mountaines and all hils, fruitfull trees and all ceders:

zintaba lamaqaqa wonke, zihlahla zezithelo lemisedari yonke,

10 Beasts and all cattell, creeping things and fethered foules:

zinyamazana zeganga lezifuyo zonke, zinto ezihuquzelayo lenyoni eziphaphayo.

11 Kings of the earth and all people, princes and all iudges of the worlde:

Makhosi omhlaba, lani zizwe zonke, ziphathamandla, lani babusi bomhlaba,

12 Yong men and maidens, also olde men and children:

majaha, lani-ke zintombi, maxhegu labatsha.

13 Let them prayse the Name of the Lord: for his Name onely is to be exalted, and his prayse aboue the earth and the heauens.

Kabadumise ibizo leNkosi, ngoba ibizo layo lodwa liphakeme; ubukhosi bayo buphezu komhlaba lamazulu.

14 For he hath exalted the horne of his people, which is a prayse for all his Saintes, euen for the children of Israel, a people that is neere vnto him. Prayse ye the Lord.

Njalo iphakamisile uphondo lwabantu bayo, indumiso yabo bonke abangcwele bayo, eyabantwana bakoIsrayeli, abantu abaseduze layo. Dumisani iNkosi!
