1 Praise ye the LORD. Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints.
2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.
3 Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.
4 For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.
5 Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds.
6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a twoedged sword in their hand;
7 To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;
8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
9 To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD.
Lumbo gwe gudzo
1 Kudzani Yahwe!
Mbilani Yahwe lumbo gutshwa,
kudziwa kwabo kumu gubungano le bagalimoyo.
2 Iziraela ngaashathile Mbumbi uwe,
bana be Ziyoni ngabashathile mambo wabo.
3 Ngabakudze zina labo ngozana,
mubambile kunozipa mu lidza thamborini ne laya.
4 Ngobe Yahwe banowana nzhazho mu bathu babo,
banonakisa banozwiyisa pasi ngokunda.
5 Bagalimoyo ngababakudze mu kukunda kwabo,
ngabambe nge shatho bali mu malalo abo.
6 Gudzo gulu le Ndzimu ngalibe mu mimoyo yabo
ne makano anotema ntha dzose mu maboko abo,
7 Kuti babgwilizile be zwitjaba,
ne kuloba bathu shamu,
8 kusunga bomambo nge mitjili
na botumbale babo ne dziketani,
9 kuti bashingikadze sumikiliso ngekwe nlayo.
Oku i gudzo mu bagalimoyo babo.
Kudzani Yahwe!
