Psalms 9
1 To the chief Musician. Upon Muthlabben. A Psalm of David. I will praise Jehovah with my whole heart; I will recount all thy marvellous works.
Ngizakudumisa, Nkosi, ngenhliziyo yami yonke, ngilandise zonke izimangaliso zakho.
2 I will be glad and rejoice in thee; I will sing forth thy name, O Most High.
Ngizathaba ngithokoze kuwe, ngihlabele indumiso ebizweni lakho, wena oPhezukonke.
3 When mine enemies turned back, they stumbled and perished at thy presence:
Lapho izitha zami zibuyela emuva, zizakuwa, zibhubhe phambi kwakho.
4 For thou hast maintained my right and my cause. Thou sittest on the throne, judging righteously.
Ngoba ulimele ilungelo lami lodaba lwami, wahlala esihlalweni sobukhosi, wahlulela ngokulungileyo.
5 Thou hast rebuked the nations, thou hast destroyed the wicked; thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.
Uzikhuzile izizwe, wabhubhisa omubi; walesula ibizo labo kuze kube nini lanini.
6 O enemy! destructions are ended for ever. — Thou hast also destroyed cities, even the remembrance of them hath perished.
Izitha ziphelile, izincithakalo eziphakade; uyidilizile imizi; ukukhunjulwa kwabo kubhubhe kanye labo.
7 But Jehovah sitteth for ever; he hath ordained his throne for judgment.
Kodwa iNkosi izahlala kuze kube phakade, isihlalo sayo sobukhosi isilungisele isahlulelo.
8 And it is he that will judge the world with righteousness; he shall execute judgment upon the peoples with equity.
Yona-ke izawahlulela umhlaba ngokulunga, ibagwebe abantu ngokuqonda.
9 And Jehovah will be a refuge to the oppressed one, a refuge in times of distress.
Njalo iNkosi izakuba yisiphephelo socindezelweyo, isiphephelo ngezikhathi zokuhlupheka.
10 And they that know thy name will confide in thee; for thou, Jehovah, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
Labalaziyo ibizo lakho bazathemba kuwe, ngoba wena Nkosi, kawubatshiyanga abakudingayo.
11 Sing psalms to Jehovah who dwelleth in Zion; tell among the peoples his doings.
Hlabelani indumiso eNkosini ehlezi eZiyoni, limemezele phakathi kwabantu izenzo zayo.
12 For when he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them; the cry of the afflicted ones hath he not forgotten.
Nxa idinga igazi, iyabakhumbula, kayikhohlwa ukukhala kwabahlutshwayo.
13 Be gracious unto me, O Jehovah; consider mine affliction from them that hate me, lifting me up from the gates of death:
Woba lomusa kimi, Nkosi, ubone uhlupho lwami oluvela kwabangizondayo, wena ongiphakamisayo emasangweni okufa,
14 That I may declare all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion. I will be joyful in thy salvation.
ukuze ngilandise yonke indumiso yakho emasangweni endodakazi yeZiyoni, ngithokoze kusindiso lwakho.
15 The nations are sunk down in the pit [that] they made; in the net that they hid is their own foot taken.
Izizwe zitshone emgodini ezawenzayo, embuleni ezalithiyayo unyawo lwazo lubanjiwe.
16 Jehovah is known [by] the judgment he hath executed: the wicked is ensnared in the work of his own hands. (Higgaion, Selah)
INkosi izazisile, yenza isahlulelo; omubi uthiywe emsebenzini wezandla zakhe. Higayoni. (Sela)
Abakhohlakeleyo bazabuyela esihogweni, zonke izizwe ezimkhohlwayo uNkulunkulu. (Sheol h7585)
18 For the needy one shall not be forgotten alway; the hope of the meek shall not perish for ever.
Ngoba oswelayo kayikukhohlakala kokuphela; ithemba labayanga kaliyikunyamalala phakade.
19 Arise, Jehovah; let not man prevail: let the nations be judged in thy sight.
Vuka, Nkosi, umuntu kanganqobi; izizwe kazigwetshwe phambi kwakho.
20 Put them in fear, Jehovah: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. (Selah)
Zitshayise ngovalo, Nkosi, izizwe kazikwazi ukuthi zingabantu nje. (Sela)
