147 Dumisani uJah,+
Ngoba kuhle ukuhubela uNkulunkulu wethu;+
Ngoba kumnandi—ukudumisa kufanele.+
2 UJehova wakha iJerusalema;+
Abahlakazekile baka-Israyeli ubaqoqela ndawonye.+
3 Uphulukisa+ abanenhliziyo eyaphukile,+
Abophe izindawo zabo ezibuhlungu.+
4 Ubala izinkanyezi;+
Zonke uzibiza ngamagama azo.+
5 INkosi yethu inkulu futhi inamandla amakhulu;+
Ukuqonda kwayo akulandiseki.+
6 UJehova ukhulula abamnene;+
Wehlisela ababi emhlabathini.+
7 Sabelani kuJehova ngokubonga, nina bantu;+
Hubelani uNkulunkulu wethu ngehabhu,+
8 Osibekela amazulu ngamafu,+
Olungiselela umhlaba imvula,+
Owenza ukuba izintaba zihlume utshani obuluhlaza.+
9 Upha izilwane ukudla kwazo,+
Aphe amaphuphu amagwababa alokhu ememeza.+
10 Akajabuli ngamandla ehhashi,+
Futhi akajabuli ngemilenze yomuntu.+
11 UJehova ujabula ngalabo abamesabayo,+
Ngalabo abalinda umusa wakhe wothando.+
12 O Jerusalema, tusa uJehova.+
Dumisa uNkulunkulu wakho Ziyoni.+
13 Ngoba wenzé imigoqo yamasango akho yaqina;
Ubusisé amadodana akho aphakathi kwakho.+
14 Ubeka ukuthula endaweni yakho;+
Uqhubeka ekwanelisa ngamanoni kakolweni.+
15 Uthumela izwi lakhe emhlabeni;+
Izwi lakhe ligijima ngejubane.
16 Unika iqhwa njengoboya;+
Uhlakaza isithwathwa njengomlotha.+
17 Uphonsa iqhwa lakhe njengezingcezwana.+
Ubani ongama phambi kwamakhaza akhe?+
18 Uthumela izwi lakhe+ awancibilikise.
Ubangela umoya wakhe ukuba uvunguze;+
Amanzi ayaconsa.
19 Izwi lakhe ulitshela uJakobe,+
Iziqondiso zakhe+ nezinqumo zakhe zokwahlulela uzitshela u-Israyeli.+
20 Akenzanga ngaleyo ndlela kunoma yisiphi esinye isizwe;+
Izinqumo zakhe zokwahlulela zona, azizange zizazi.+
Dumisani uJah!+
