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.
Ngizakudumisa, Nkosi, ngenhliziyo yami yonke, ngilandise zonke izimangaliso zakho.
2 I will bee glad, and reioyce in thee: I will sing praise to thy Name, O most High,
Ngizathaba ngithokoze kuwe, ngihlabele indumiso ebizweni lakho, wena oPhezukonke.
3 For that mine enemies are turned backe: they shall fall, and perish at thy presence.
Lapho izitha zami zibuyela emuva, zizakuwa, zibhubhe phambi kwakho.
4 For thou hast maintained my right and my cause: thou art set in the throne, and iudgest right.
Ngoba ulimele ilungelo lami lodaba lwami, wahlala esihlalweni sobukhosi, wahlulela ngokulungileyo.
5 Thou hast rebuked the heathen: thou hast destroyed the wicked: thou hast put out their name for euer and euer.
Uzikhuzile izizwe, wabhubhisa omubi; walesula ibizo labo 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.
Izitha ziphelile, izincithakalo eziphakade; uyidilizile imizi; ukukhunjulwa kwabo kubhubhe kanye labo.
7 But the Lord shall sit for euer: hee hath prepared his throne for iudgement.
Kodwa iNkosi izahlala kuze kube phakade, isihlalo sayo sobukhosi isilungisele isahlulelo.
8 For he shall iudge the worlde in righteousnes, and shall iudge the people with equitie.
Yona-ke izawahlulela umhlaba ngokulunga, ibagwebe abantu ngokuqonda.
9 The Lord also wil be a refuge for the poore, a refuge in due time, euen in affliction.
Njalo iNkosi izakuba yisiphephelo socindezelweyo, isiphephelo ngezikhathi zokuhlupheka.
10 And they that know thy Name, will trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not failed them that seeke thee.
Labalaziyo ibizo lakho bazathemba kuwe, ngoba wena Nkosi, kawubatshiyanga abakudingayo.
11 Sing praises to the Lord, which dwelleth in Zion: shewe the people his workes.
Hlabelani indumiso eNkosini ehlezi eZiyoni, limemezele phakathi kwabantu izenzo zayo.
12 For whe he maketh inquisition for blood, hee remembreth it, and forgetteth not the complaint of the poore.
Nxa idinga igazi, iyabakhumbula, kayikhohlwa ukukhala kwabahlutshwayo.
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,
Woba lomusa kimi, Nkosi, ubone uhlupho lwami oluvela kwabangizondayo, wena ongiphakamisayo emasangweni okufa,
14 That I may shewe all thy praises within the gates of the daughter of Zion, and reioyce in thy saluation.
ukuze ngilandise yonke indumiso yakho emasangweni endodakazi yeZiyoni, ngithokoze kusindiso lwakho.
15 The heathen are sunken downe in the pit that they made: in the nette that they hid, is their foote taken.
Izizwe zitshone emgodini ezawenzayo, embuleni ezalithiyayo unyawo lwazo lubanjiwe.
16 The Lord is knowen by executing iudgement: the wicked is snared in the worke of his owne handes. (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 poore shall not bee alway forgotten: the hope of the afflicted shall not perish for euer.
Ngoba oswelayo kayikukhohlakala kokuphela; ithemba labayanga kaliyikunyamalala phakade.
19 Vp Lord: let not man preuaile: let the heathen be iudged in thy sight.
Vuka, Nkosi, umuntu kanganqobi; izizwe kazigwetshwe phambi kwakho.
20 Put them in feare, O Lord, that the heathen may knowe that they are but men. (Selah)
Zitshayise ngovalo, Nkosi, izizwe kazikwazi ukuthi zingabantu nje. (Sela)
