< Psalms 99 >
1 Jehovah reigns! Let the peoples tremble. He sits above the cherubim, let the earth be moved.
UThixo uyabusa, izizwe kazithuthumele; uhlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi phakathi kwamakherubhi, umhlaba kawuzamazame.
2 Jehovah is great in Zion, and he is high above all the peoples.
Mkhulu uThixo eZiyoni; uphakeme ngaphezu kwezizwe zonke.
3 Let them praise thy great and awesome name. Holy is he.
Kabadumise ibizo Lakho elikhulu elesabekayo Yena ungcwele.
4 The king's strength also loves justice. Thou establish equity. Thou execute justice and righteousness in Jacob.
INkosi ilamandla, ithanda ukwahlulela okuhle umisile ukwaba ngemfanelo; kuJakhobe usuwenzile okuqondileyo lokulungileyo.
5 Exalt ye Jehovah our God, and worship at his footstool. Holy is he.
Dumisani uThixo uNkulunkulu wethu likhonze phansi kwesihlalo sakhe; yena ungcwele.
6 Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among those who call upon his name, they called upon Jehovah, and he answered them.
UMosi lo-Aroni babephakathi kwabaphristi bakhe, uSamuyeli wayekulabo ababelibiza ibizo lakhe; bambiza uThixo Yena wabaphendula.
7 He spoke to them in the pillar of cloud. They kept his testimonies, and the statute that he gave them.
Wabakhulumisa ephakathi kwensika yeyezi; bagcina izimiso zakhe lezimemezelo azitshoyo kubo.
8 Thou answered them, O Jehovah our God. Thou were a God who forgave them, though thou took vengeance on their doings.
Oh Thixo Nkulunkulu wethu, wabaphendula; ku-Israyeli wawunguNkulunkulu othethelelayo, lanxa wabajezisa ngenxa yezenzo zabo ezimbi.
9 Exalt ye Jehovah our God, and worship at his holy hill. For Jehovah our God is holy.
Phakamisani uThixo uNkulunkulu wethu, limkhonze entabeni yakhe engcwele, ngoba uThixo uNkulunkulu wethu ungcwele.
