Psalms 21

1 To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David. The king shall joy in thy strength, Jehovah; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice.

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

2 Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips. (Selah)

Usumphile isiloyiso senhliziyo yakhe njalo kawumncitshanga isicelo sezindebe zakhe.

3 For thou hast met him with the blessings of goodness; thou hast set a crown of pure gold on his head.

Wamemukela ngezibusiso ezinhle wamethesa umqhele wegolide elicengekileyo ekhanda lakhe.

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

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

5 His glory is great through thy salvation; majesty and splendour hast thou laid upon him.

Ngokunqoba akuphiwe nguwe lukhulu udumo lwakhe; usumgqizise inkazimulo lobukhosi.

6 For thou hast made him to be blessings for ever; thou hast filled him with joy by thy countenance.

Ngempela usumuphe izibusiso ezingapheliyo wamenza wajabula ngentokozo yobukhona Bakho.

7 For the king confideth in Jehovah: and through the loving-kindness of the Most High he shall not be moved.

Ngoba umbusi uyamthemba uThixo; ngothando loPhezukonke olungaphuthiyo akayikuzanyazanyiswa.

8 Thy hand shall find out all thine enemies; thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee.

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

9 Thou shalt make them as a fiery furnace in the time of thy presence; Jehovah shall swallow them up in his anger, and the fire shall devour them:

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

10 Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.

Wena uzabhubhisa izizukulwane zabo emhlabeni, inzalo yabo ebantwini.

11 For they intended evil against thee; they imagined a mischievous device, which they could not execute.

Loba beceba okubi Ngawe besakha amaqhinga amabi, abangeke baphumelele;

12 For thou wilt make them turn their back; thou wilt make ready thy bowstring against their face.

ngoba uzabenza bafulathele babaleke nxa usubakhombela usulinwebile idandili.

13 Be thou exalted, Jehovah, in thine own strength: we will sing and celebrate thy power.

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