Psalms 9
1 To him that excelleth vpon Muth Laben. A Psalme of Dauid. I will praise the Lord with my whole heart: I will speake of all thy marueilous workes.
Kumqondisi wokuhlabelela. Ihlatshelwa njengengoma ethi “Ukufa kweNdodana.” Ihubo likaDavida. Ngizakudumisa, Oh Thixo, ngenhliziyo yami yonke; ngizafakaza ngazozonke izimangaliso zakho.
2 I will bee glad, and reioyce in thee: I will sing praise to thy Name, O most High,
Ngizathokoza ngijabule ngawe, ngizahlabelela indumiso egameni lakho, wena oPhezukonke.
3 For that mine enemies are turned backe: they shall fall, and perish at thy presence.
Izitha zami ziyafulathela zibaleke; ziyakhubeka zitshabalale phambi kwakho.
4 For thou hast maintained my right and my cause: thou art set in the throne, and iudgest right.
Ngoba ulisekele ilungelo lami; usuhlalile esihlalweni sakho sobukhosi wahlulela kakuhle.
5 Thou hast rebuked the heathen: thou hast destroyed the wicked: thou hast put out their name for euer and euer.
Uzikhuzile izizwe, wababhubhisa ababi; wawesula amabizo abo kuze kube nini lanini.
6 O enemie, destructions are come to a perpetual end, and thou hast destroyed the cities: their memoriall is perished with them.
Ukubhidlika okungapheliyo kusehlele isitha sami, wawasiphuna amadolobho aso; lokukhunjulwa kwaso sekuphele nya.
7 But the Lord shall sit for euer: hee hath prepared his throne for iudgement.
UThixo uyabusa kuze kube nininini; usesimisile isihlalo sakhe sobukhosi ukuze ahlulele.
8 For he shall iudge the worlde in righteousnes, and shall iudge the people with equitie.
Uzabusa umhlaba ngokulunga njalo uzakwahlulela abantu ngokufaneleyo.
9 The Lord also wil be a refuge for the poore, a refuge in due time, euen in affliction.
UThixo uyisiphephelo sabancindezelweyo, uyinqaba ezikhathini zokuhlupheka.
10 And they that know thy Name, will trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not failed them that seeke thee.
Labo abalaziyo ibizo lakho bazathemba kuwe, ngoba wena, Thixo, kawubafulatheli abakudingayo.
11 Sing praises to the Lord, which dwelleth in Zion: shewe the people his workes.
Hlabelelani indumiso kuThixo esebukhosini eZiyoni; fakazani phakathi kwezizwe ngalokho akwenzileyo.
12 For whe he maketh inquisition for blood, hee remembreth it, and forgetteth not the complaint of the poore.
Ngoba yena ophindiselayo kulowo ochitha igazi uyakhumbula; akakudeli ukukhala kwabahlukuluzwayo.
13 Haue mercie vpon mee, O Lord: consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate mee, thou that liftest me vp from the gates of death,
Oh Thixo, ake ubone ukuthi izitha zami zingichukuluza njani! Yiba lesihawu ungenyule emasangweni okufa,
14 That I may shewe all thy praises within the gates of the daughter of Zion, and reioyce in thy saluation.
ukuze ngifakaze indumiso yakho emasangweni eNdodakazi yaseZiyoni kuthi khonale ngithokoze ngokusindisa kwakho.
15 The heathen are sunken downe in the pit that they made: in the nette that they hid, is their foote taken.
Izizwe ziwele emgodini eziwumbileyo; inyawo zazo zibanjwe emambuleni eziwathiyileyo.
16 The Lord is knowen by executing iudgement: the wicked is snared in the worke of his owne handes. (Higgaion, Selah)
UThixo waziwa ngokwahlulela kwakhe okulungileyo; ababi babanjwa yizenzo zezandla zabo.
Ababi babuyela engcwabeni, zonke izizwe ezikhohlwa uNkulunkulu. (Sheol h7585)
18 For the poore shall not bee alway forgotten: the hope of the afflicted shall not perish for euer.
Kodwa abaswelayo kabayikukhohlakala kokuphela, njalo lethemba labahlukuluzwayo kaliyikutshabalala.
19 Vp Lord: let not man preuaile: let the heathen be iudged in thy sight.
Vuka Thixo, ungayekeli umuntu anqobe; akuthi izizwe zahlulelwe phambi kwakho.
20 Put them in feare, O Lord, that the heathen may knowe that they are but men. (Selah)
Batshayise ngovalo, Oh Thixo; akuthi izizwe zikwazi ukuthi zingabantu nje.
