Psalms 108

1 A canticle of a psalm for David himself. My heart is ready, O God, my heart is ready: I will sing, and will give praise, with my glory.

Ingoma. Ihubo likaDavida. Inhliziyo yami ibambelele, kayiguquki, Oh Nkulunkulu; ngizahlabela ngenze iculo elimnandi ngomoya wami wonke.

2 Arise, my glory; arise, psaltery and harp: I will arise in the morning early.

Vuka, mhubhe lechacho! Ngizayivusa intathakusa.

3 I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: and I will sing unto thee among the populations.

Ngizakudumisa, yebo Thixo, phakathi kwezizwe; ngizahlabela ngawe phakathi kwabantu.

4 For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth even unto the clouds.

Ngoba lukhulu uthando lwakho, luphakame kulamazulu; ukwethembeka kwakho kufinyelela emkhathini.

5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens, and thy glory over all the earth:

Kawuphakanyiswe, yebo Nkulunkulu, ngaphezu kwamazulu, akuthi inkazimulo yakho ibe khona emhlabeni wonke.

6 That thy beloved may be delivered. Save with thy right hand and hear me.

Sisindise usisize ngesandla sakho sokunene, ukuze kuthi laba obathandayo bakhululwe.

7 God hath spoken in his holiness. I will rejoice, and I will divide Sichem and I will mete out the vale of tabernacles.

UNkulunkulu usekhulumile esendlini yakhe engcwele: “Ngokunqoba ngizayaba iShekhemu ngihlole leSigodi saseSukhothi.

8 Galaad is mine, and Manasses is mine and Ephraim the protection of my head. Juda is my king:

Ngeyami iGiliyadi, loManase ngowami; u-Efrayimi yisivikelo sekhanda lami, uJuda uyintonga yami yobukhosi.

9 Moab the pot of my hope. Over Edom I will stretch out my shoe: the aliens are become my friends.

IMowabi ngumganu wami wokugezela, phezu kuka-Edomi ngiphosela amanyathelo ami; phezu kweFilistiya ngihalalisa umkhosi wokunqoba.”

10 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?

Ngubani ozangisa emzini olenqaba na? Ngubani ozangiholela e-Edomi na?

11 Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our armies?

Kakusuwe na, Oh Nkulunkulu, wena osusikhalele, ongasaphumi lathi ezimpini zethu?

12 O grant us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.

Ake usisize ezitheni zethu, ngoba usizo lomuntu luyize.

13 Through God we shall do mightily: and he will bring our enemies to nothing.

Nxa siloNkulunkulu sizanqoba, njalo uzazinyathelela phansi izitha zethu.
