Mikhulu imisebenzi yeNkosi, idingwa yilabo abathokoza ngayo.

3 His work is honor and majesty. His righteousness endures forever.

Ulodumo lenkazimulo umsebenzi wayo, lokulunga kwayo kumi kuze kube nininini.

4 He has caused his wonderful works to be remembered. The LORD is gracious and merciful.

Yenzile izimangaliso zayo zikhunjulwe; iNkosi ilomusa lesihawu.

Iyabapha ukudla labo abayesabayo; iyakhumbula kuze kube phakade isivumelwano sayo.
