Psalms 21

1 For the end, a Psalm of David. O Lord, the king shall rejoice in thy strength; and in thy salvation he shall greatly exult.

Jehova, inkosi izajabula emandleni akho, lesindisweni lwakho izathaba kangakanani!

2 Thou hast granted him the desire of his soul, and hast not withheld from him the request of his lips. (Pause)

Uyinikile isifiso senhliziyo yayo, kawuyincitshanga isicelo sendebe zayo. (Sela)

3 For thou hast prevented him with blessings of goodness: thou has set upon his head a crown of precious stone.

Ngoba uyihlangabeze ngezibusiso zokuhle, wayethwesa umqhele wegolide elihle ekhanda layo.

4 He asked life of thee, and thou gavest him length of days for ever and ever.

Yacela impilo kuwe, wayinika yona, ubude bezinsuku kuze kube nini lanini.

5 His glory is great in thy salvation: thou wilt crown him with glory and majesty.

Lukhulu udumo lwayo ekusindiseni kwakho, inkazimulo lobukhosi wakubeka phezu kwayo.

6 For thou wilt give him a blessing for ever and ever: thou wilt gladden him with joy with thy countenance.

Ngoba uyenze yabusiseka kakhulu kuze kube nininini, uyayithokozisa ngenjabulo ebukhoneni bakho.

7 For the king trusts in the Lord, and through the mercy of the Highest he shall not be moved.

Ngoba inkosi ithembela kuJehova, langomusa woPhezukonke kayiyikunyikinywa.

8 Let thy hand be found by all thine enemies: let thy right hand find all that hate thee.

Isandla sakho sizazithola zonke izitha zakho, lesandla sakho sokunene sizabathola labo abakuzondayo.

9 Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven at the time of thy presence: the Lord shall trouble them in his anger, and fire shall devour them.

Uzabenza babe njengesithando somlilo esikhathini solaka lwakho. INkosi izabaginya ekuthukutheleni kwayo, lomlilo uzabaqothula.

10 Thou shalt destroy their fruit from the earth, and their seed from [among] the sons of men.

Uzachitha isithelo sabo emhlabeni, lenzalo yabo phakathi kwabantwana babantu.

11 For they intended evils against thee; they imagined a device which they shall by no means be able to perform.

Ngoba bezimisela okubi bemelene lawe, beceba ugobe, bazakwehluleka.

12 For thou shalt make them [turn their] back in thy latter end, thou wilt prepare their face.

Ngoba uzabafulathelisa, ngezintambo zedandili uzalungisa imitshoko imelane lobuso babo.

13 Be thou exalted, O Lord, in thy strength: we will sing and praise thy mighty acts.

Phakama, Nkosi, ngamandla akho! Sizahlabela sidumise amandla akho.
