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.
Inhliziyo yami iqinile, Nkulunkulu. Ngizahlabelela ngitshotshe, ngitsho udumo lwami!
2 Arise, my glory; arise, psaltery and harp: I will arise in the morning early.
Vukani gubhu lwezintambo lechacho! Ngizavusa ukusa.
3 I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: and I will sing unto thee among the populations.
Ngizakudumisa, Nkosi, phakathi kwabantu, ngihlabele indumiso kuwe phakathi kwezizwe.
4 For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth even unto the clouds.
Ngoba umusa wakho mkhulu phezu kwamazulu, leqiniso lakho lifika emayezini.
5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens, and thy glory over all the earth:
Phakama, Nkulunkulu, ngaphezu kwamazulu, lobukhosi bakho phezu komhlaba wonke.
6 That thy beloved may be delivered. Save with thy right hand and hear me.
Ukuze abathandekayo bakho bakhululwe; sindisa ngesandla sakho sokunene, ungiphendule.
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 ukhulumile ebungcweleni bakhe. Ngizathaba, ngiyabe iShekema, ngilinganise isihotsha seSukothi.
8 Galaad is mine, and Manasses is mine and Ephraim the protection of my head. Juda is my king:
Ngeyami iGileyadi, ngowami uManase, loEfrayimi ungamandla ekhanda lami, uJuda ungumnikumthetho wami.
9 Moab the pot of my hope. Over Edom I will stretch out my shoe: the aliens are become my friends.
UMowabi ungumganu wami wokugezela; phezu kukaEdoma ngizaphosela inyathela lami; phezu kweFilisti ngizamemeza ngokunqoba.
10 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
Ngubani ozangisa emzini oqinileyo? Ngubani ozangiholela eEdoma?
11 Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our armies?
Kawusilahlanga yini, Nkulunkulu; kawuphumanga, Nkulunkulu, lamabutho ethu?
12 O grant us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.
Siphe usizo ekuhlupheni, ngoba luyize uncedo lomuntu.
13 Through God we shall do mightily: and he will bring our enemies to nothing.
KuNkulunkulu sizakwenza ngobuqhawe, ngoba yena uzanyathelela phansi izitha zethu.
