Psalms 24

1 Of David. A Psalm. The earth is Jehovah's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

Umhlaba ungoweNkosi, lokugcwala kwawo, ilizwe, labahlala kulo.

2 For it was he that founded it upon seas, and established it upon floods.

Ngoba yona yawusekela phezu kwezinlwandle, yawumisa phezu kwemifula.

3 Who shall ascend into the mount of Jehovah? and who shall stand in his holy place?

Ngubani ozakwenyukela entabeni yeNkosi? Kumbe ngubani ozakuma endaweni yayo engcwele?

4 He that hath blameless hands and a pure heart; who lifteth not up his soul unto vanity, nor sweareth deceitfully:

Ngulowo olezandla ezihlanzekileyo lenhliziyo emhlophe, ongaphakamiseli umphefumulo wakhe kokuyize longafungi ngenkohliso.

5 He shall receive blessing from Jehovah, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

Uzakwemukela isibusiso eNkosini, lokulunga kuNkulunkulu wosindiso lwakhe.

6 This is the generation of them that seek unto him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. (Selah)

Lesi yisizukulwana salabo abayidingayo, abadinga ubuso bakho, ngitsho Jakobe. (Sela)

7 Lift up your heads, ye gates, and be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors, and the King of glory shall come in.

Phakamisani inhloko zenu, lina masango, phakanyiswani, lina minyango yaphakade, ukuze kungene iNkosi yenkazimulo.

8 Who is this King of glory? Jehovah strong and mighty, Jehovah mighty in battle.

Ingubani liNkosi yenkazimulo? INkosi elamandla leliqhawe, iNkosi elamandla empini.

9 Lift up your heads, ye gates; yea, lift up, ye everlasting doors, and the King of glory shall come in.

Phakamisani inhloko zenu, lina masango, yebo, phakamani, lina minyango yaphakade, ukuze kungene iNkosi yenkazimulo.

10 Who is he, this King of glory? Jehovah of hosts, he is the King of glory. (Selah)

Ingubani liNkosi yenkazimulo? INkosi yamabandla, yiyo eyiNkosi yenkazimulo. (Sela)
