Psalms 76

1 For the music director. To be accompanied by stringed instruments. A psalm of Asaph. A song. God is famous in Judah; his reputation is great throughout Israel.

UNkulunkulu uyaziwa koJuda; ibizo lakhe likhulu koIsrayeli.

2 He lives in Jerusalem; his home is in Zion.

Njalo idumba lakhe liseSalema, lendawo yakhe yokuhlala eZiyoni.

3 There he broke the flaming arrows, the shields, the swords, and the weapons of war. (Selah)

Lapho wephula imitshoko evuthayo yedandili, isihlangu, lenkemba, lempi. (Sela)

4 You shine with light; you are more majestic than the everlasting mountains.

Uyakhazimula, ulobukhosi okwedlula izintaba zempango.

5 Our most courageous enemies have been plundered. They sleep the sleep of death. Even the strongest of them could not raise a hand against us.

Baphangiwe abaqinileyo ngenhliziyo, balele ubuthongo babo; njalo kakho emaqhaweni othole izandla zawo.

6 At your command, God of Jacob, both horse and rider fell down dead.

Ekukhalimeni kwakho, Nkulunkulu kaJakobe, kokubili inqola lebhiza kulele ubuthongo obukhulu.

7 You are terrifying—who can stand before you when you are angry?

Wena, wena uyesabeka. Ngubani-ke ongema phambi kwakho kusukela esikhathini solaka lwakho?

8 From heaven you announced judgment. Everyone on earth was afraid and stood still,

Wenza isahlulelo sizwakale usemazulwini; umhlaba wesaba wathula,

9 when you stood up to judge, to save the oppressed people of the earth. (Selah)

mhla uNkulunkulu evukela isahlulelo, ukusindisa bonke abathobekileyo bomhlaba. (Sela)

10 Even human anger against you makes you look glorious, for you wear it alike a crown.

Qotho, ulaka lomuntu luzakudumisa; uzazibhinca ngensalela yolaka.

11 Make your promises to God and be sure to keep them. Everyone bring gifts to the awe-inspiring one.

Fungani, likhokhe eNkosini uNkulunkulu wenu, lonke eliyihanqileyo lilethe izipho kuye ofanele esatshwe.

12 For he humbles proud leaders; he terrifies the kings of the earth.

Izaquma umoya weziphathamandla; iyesabeka emakhosini omhlaba.
