Psalms 135

1Dumisani uThixo.

Dumisani ibizo likaThixo;
mdumiseni lina zinceku zikaThixo,
2lina eliqhuba inkonzo endlini kaThixo,
emagumeni endlu kaNkulunkulu.

3Dumisani uThixo ngoba uThixo ulungile;
hlabelani indumiso ebizweni lakhe ngoba lokho kuhle.
4Ngoba uThixo usemkhethile uJakhobe ukuba ngowakhe,
u-Israyeli ukuba yinotho yakhe eligugu.

5Ngiyazi ukuthi uThixo mkhulu,
lokuthi iNkosi yethu inkulu kulabonkulunkulu bonke.
6 UThixo wenza loba yini ayifunayo,
emazulwini lasemhlabeni,
enlwandle lasezinzikini zazo.
7Wenza amayezi aqubuka emikhawulweni yomhlaba;
uthuma umbane kanye lezulu,
avulele umoya oseziphaleni zakhe.

8Wawalahla phansi amazibulo aseGibhithe,
amazibulo abantu lawezinyamazana.
9Wathumela izibonakaliso lezimangaliso zakhe
phakathi kwakho, wena Gibhithe,
phezu kukaFaro lezinceku zakhe zonke.
10Wazilahla phansi izizwe ezinengi
wabulala amakhosi alamandla,
11uSihoni inkosi yama-Amori,
u-Ogi inkosi yaseBhashani
lawo wonke amakhosi aseKhenani
12wanika ilizwe labo laba yilifa,
ilifa labantu bakhe, u-Israyeli.

13Ibizo lakho, Oh Thixo, limi kuze kube nininini,
udumo lwakho, Oh Thixo, ezizukulwaneni zonke.
14Ngoba uThixo uzabalamulela abantu bakhe
abe lesihawu ezincekwini zakhe.

15Izithombe zezizwe ziyisiliva legolide,
zenziwe ngezandla zabantu.
16Zilemilomo, kodwa kazikhulumi,
amehlo, kodwa kaziboni;
17zilezindlebe, kodwa kazizwa,
njalo kazilamphefumulo emilonyeni yazo.
18Labo abazenzayo bazakuba njengazo,
kube njalo lakulabo abathemba kuzo.

19Wena ndlu ka-Israyeli, dumisa uThixo;
wena ndlu ka-Aroni, dumisa uThixo;
20wena ndlu kaLevi, dumisa uThixo
lina elimesabayo, dumisani uThixo.
21Udumo alube uThixo lusuka eZiyoni,
kuye ohlala eJerusalema.

Dumisani uThixo.
