Psalms 21

1 For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. O LORD, the king rejoices in Your strength. How greatly he exults in Your salvation!

Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Ihubo likaDavida. Yebo Thixo umbusi uyathokoza ngamandla akho. Kukhulu ukuthokoza kwakhe ngokunqoba akuphiwa nguwe!

2 You have granted his heart’s desire and have not withheld the request of his lips.

Usumphile isiloyiso senhliziyo yakhe njalo kawumncitshanga isicelo sezindebe zakhe.

3 For You welcomed him with rich blessings; You placed on his head a crown of pure gold.

Wamemukela ngezibusiso ezinhle wamethesa umqhele wegolide elicengekileyo ekhanda lakhe.

4 He asked You for life, and You granted it— length of days, forever and ever.

Wacela kuwe ukusila, wamupha ubude bezinsuku kuze kube nini lanini.

5 Great is his glory in Your salvation; You bestow on him splendor and majesty.

Ngokunqoba akuphiwe nguwe lukhulu udumo lwakhe; usumgqizise inkazimulo lobukhosi.

6 For You grant him blessings forever; You cheer him with joy in Your presence.

Ngempela usumuphe izibusiso ezingapheliyo wamenza wajabula ngentokozo yobukhona Bakho.

7 For the king trusts in the LORD; through the loving devotion of the Most High, he will not be shaken.

Ngoba umbusi uyamthemba uThixo; ngothando loPhezukonke olungaphuthiyo akayikuzanyazanyiswa.

8 Your hand will apprehend all Your enemies; Your right hand will seize those who hate You.

Isandla Sakho sizazibamba zonke izitha Zakho; isandla Sakho sokunene sizabaxhakalaza abakuzondayo.

9 You will place them in a fiery furnace at the time of Your appearing. In His wrath the LORD will engulf them, and the fire will consume them.

Kuzakuthi lapho uqhamuka wena uzabenza babe njengomlilo wemvutho enkulu. Ngenxa yentukuthelo yakhe uThixo uzabaginya, umlilo wakhe uzabaqothula.

10 You will wipe their descendants from the earth, and their offspring from the sons of men.

Wena uzabhubhisa izizukulwane zabo emhlabeni, inzalo yabo ebantwini.

11 Though they intend You harm, the schemes they devise will not prevail.

Loba beceba okubi Ngawe besakha amaqhinga amabi, abangeke baphumelele;

12 For You will put them to flight when Your bow is trained upon them.

ngoba uzabenza bafulathele babaleke nxa usubakhombela usulinwebile idandili.

13 Be exalted, O LORD, in Your strength; we will sing and praise Your power.

Phakanyiswa, Oh Thixo ngamandla Akho; sizahlabela sibabaze amandla Akho.
