Psalms 96

1 Sing vnto the Lord a newe song: sing vnto the Lord, all the earth.

Hlabelani kuThixo ingoma entsha; hlabelani kuThixo mhlaba wonke.

2 Sing vnto the Lord, and prayse his Name: declare his saluation from day to day.

Hlabelani kuThixo, dumisani ibizo lakhe; memezelani insindiso yakhe insuku ngezinsuku.

3 Declare his glory among all nations, and his wonders among all people.

Fakazani ngobukhosi bakhe ezizweni zonke, lemisebenzi yakhe emangalisayo phakathi kwabantu bonke.

4 For the Lord is great and much to be praysed: he is to be feared aboue all gods.

Ngoba umkhulu uThixo, ufanele ukudunyiswa ngokuphindiweyo; kumele esatshwe ngaphezu kwabonkulunkulu bonke.

5 For all the gods of the people are idoles: but the Lord made the heauens.

Ngoba bonke onkulunkulu bezizwe bayizithombe, kodwa uThixo wadala amazulu.

6 Strength and glory are before him: power and beautie are in his Sanctuarie.

Inkazimulo lobukhosi kuphambi Kwakhe; amandla lobukhosi kusendlini yakhe engcwele.

7 Giue vnto the Lord, ye families of the people: giue vnto the Lord glory and power.

Mnikeni uThixo, lina zizukulwane zezizwe. Mnikeni uThixo ubukhosi lamandla.

8 Giue vnto the Lord the glory of his Name: bring an offering, and enter into his courtes.

Mnikeni uThixo udumo olufanele ibizo lakhe. Lethani umnikelo libuye phambi kwakhe.

9 Worship the Lord in the glorious Sanctuarie: tremble before him all the earth.

Mkhonzeni uThixo enkazimulweni yobungcwele bakhe; thuthumelani phambi kwakhe mhlaba wonke.

10 Say among the nations, The Lord reigneth: surely the world shalbe stable, and not moue, and he shall iudge the people in righteousnesse.

Wothini phakathi kwezizwe, “UThixo uyabusa.” Umhlaba ugxilile, ungeke wagudluzwa; uzabehlulela abantu ngokubafaneleyo.

11 Let the heauens reioyce, and let the earth be glad: let the sea roare, and all that therein is.

Amazulu kawathokoze, lomhlaba ujabule; ulwandle kaluhlokome, lakho konke okukulo;

12 Let the field be ioyfull, and all that is in it: let all the trees of the wood then reioyce

amasimu kawathakazelele lakho konke okukuwo. Lapho-ke izihlahla zonke zeganga zizahlabela ngentokozo;

13 Before the Lord: for he commeth, for he cometh to iudge the earth: he wil iudge the world with righteousnes, and the people in his trueth.

phambi kukaThixo, ngoba uyeza, uyeza ukuzakwahlulela umhlaba. Uzakwahlulela umhlaba ngokulunga, ahlulele abantu ngeqiniso.
