Psalms 148

1 Hallelujah. Praise ye the LORD from the heavens; praise Him in the heights.

Dumisani iNkosi! Dumisani iNkosi lisemazulwini, idumiseni endaweni eziphezulu.

2 Praise ye Him, all His angels; praise ye Him, all His hosts.

Idumiseni lonke zingilosi zayo. Idumiseni lonke mabandla ayo.

3 Praise ye Him, sun and moon; praise Him, all ye stars of light.

Idumiseni langa lenyanga. Idumiseni lonke zinkanyezi ezikhanyayo.

4 Praise Him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that are above the heavens.

Idumiseni mazulu amazulu, lani manzi aphezu kwamazulu.

5 Let them praise the name of the LORD; for He commanded, and they were created.

Kakudumise ibizo leNkosi; ngoba yona yalaya, kwasekudalwa.

6 He hath also established them for ever and ever; He hath made a decree which shall not be transgressed.

Yakumisa kuze kube nini lanini; yakhupha isimiso esingayikwedlula.

7 Praise the LORD from the earth, ye sea-monsters, and all deeps;

Dumisani iNkosi lisemhlabeni, migobho yolwandle, lani zinziki zonke,

8 Fire and hail, snow and vapour, stormy wind, fulfilling His word;

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

9 Mountains and all hills, fruitful trees and all cedars;

zintaba lamaqaqa wonke, zihlahla zezithelo lemisedari yonke,

10 Beasts and all cattle, creeping things and winged fowl;

zinyamazana zeganga lezifuyo zonke, zinto ezihuquzelayo lenyoni eziphaphayo.

11 Kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all judges of the earth;

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

12 Both young men and maidens, old men and children;

majaha, lani-ke zintombi, maxhegu labatsha.

13 Let them praise the name of the LORD, for His name alone is exalted; His glory is above the earth and heaven.

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

14 And He hath lifted up a horn for His people, a praise for all His saints, even for the children of Israel, a people near unto Him. Hallelujah.

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