147 Dumisani uYa!
Yinto entle ukumdumisa ngengoma uThixo wethu;
Kumnandi ibe kufaneleke nyhani ukumdumisa!+
2 UYehova wakha iYerusalem;+
Uqokelela onke amaSirayeli asasazekileyo.+
3 Upholisa iintliziyo ezibuhlungu;
Ubopha amanxeba.
4 Ubala inani leenkwenkwezi;
Zonke uzibiza ngamagama.+
5 Ubukhulu namandla eNkosi yethu azinakuthelekiswa nanto!+
Ubulumko bayo abunamda.+
6 UYehova uyabaphakamisa abalulamileyo,+
Kodwa uziphosa phantsi izikhohlakali.
7 Mbuleleni ngengoma uYehova;
Mdumiseni ngengoma uThixo wethu, nidlala uhadi,
8 Lowo uwathi wambu ngamafu amazulu,
Lowo unisa imvula emhlabeni,+
Lowo uhlumisa ingca+ ezintabeni.
9 Upha izilwanyana ukutya,+
Upha amantshontsho ehlungulu akhalayo.+
10 Akawahoyanga amandla ehashe;+
Engayiboneli ntweni nemilenze eyomeleleyo yomntu.+
11 UYehova uyabathanda abo bamoyikayo,+
Abo bathembele kuthando lwakhe olungagungqiyo.+
12 Mzukise uYehova Yerusalem.
Mdumise uThixo wakho Ziyon.
13 Uwenza omelele amasango esixeko sakho;
Uyabasikelela oonyana bakho.
14 Wenza kubekho uxolo kummandla wakho;+
Ukwanelisa ngengqolowa yodidi.+
15 Uthumela umyalelo wakhe emhlabeni;
Ilizwi lakhe likhawuleza lifike.
16 Uwisa ikhephu njengoboya;+
Usasaza iqabaka njengothuthu.+
17 Unisa isichotho njengamaqhekeza esonka.+
Ngubani onokumelana nengqele yakhe?+
18 Ngelizwi nje, utsho zinyibilike.
Uvuthuzisa umoya, kuze kuqukuqele amanzi.+
19 Unika uYakobi umyalelo wakhe,
USirayeli imithetho nezigwebo zakhe.+
20 Akayenzanga loo nto kwezinye iintlanga;+
Azazi nto ngezigwebo zakhe.
Dumisani uYa!+
