Psalms 76

1 For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph. A song. God is known in Judah; His name is great in Israel.

UNkulunkulu uyaziwa koJuda; ibizo lakhe likhulu koIsrayeli.

2 His tent is in Salem, His dwelling place in Zion.

Njalo idumba lakhe liseSalema, lendawo yakhe yokuhlala eZiyoni.

3 There He shattered the flaming arrows, the shield and sword and weapons of war.

Lapho wephula imitshoko evuthayo yedandili, isihlangu, lenkemba, lempi. (Sela)

4 You are resplendent with light, more majestic than mountains filled with game.

Uyakhazimula, ulobukhosi okwedlula izintaba zempango.

5 The valiant lie plundered; they sleep their last sleep. No men of might could lift a hand.

Baphangiwe abaqinileyo ngenhliziyo, balele ubuthongo babo; njalo kakho emaqhaweni othole izandla zawo.

6 At Your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both horse and rider lie stunned.

Ekukhalimeni kwakho, Nkulunkulu kaJakobe, kokubili inqola lebhiza kulele ubuthongo obukhulu.

7 You alone are to be feared. When You are angry, who can stand before You?

Wena, wena uyesabeka. Ngubani-ke ongema phambi kwakho kusukela esikhathini solaka lwakho?

8 From heaven You pronounced judgment, and the earth feared and was still

Wenza isahlulelo sizwakale usemazulwini; umhlaba wesaba wathula,

9 when God rose up to judge, to save all the lowly of the earth.

mhla uNkulunkulu evukela isahlulelo, ukusindisa bonke abathobekileyo bomhlaba. (Sela)

10 Even the wrath of man shall praise You; with the survivors of wrath You will clothe Yourself.

Qotho, ulaka lomuntu luzakudumisa; uzazibhinca ngensalela yolaka.

11 Make and fulfill your vows to the LORD your God; let all the neighboring lands bring tribute to Him who is to be feared.

Fungani, likhokhe eNkosini uNkulunkulu wenu, lonke eliyihanqileyo lilethe izipho kuye ofanele esatshwe.

12 He breaks the spirits of princes; He is feared by the kings of the earth.

Izaquma umoya weziphathamandla; iyesabeka emakhosini omhlaba.
