Psalms 97
1 The Lord reigneth: let the earth reioyce: let the multitude of the yles be glad.
UThixo uyabusa, umhlaba kawuthokoze; akuthi amakhumbi akude ajabule.
2 Cloudes and darkenes are round about him: righteousnesse and iudgement are the foundation of his throne.
Amayezi lomnyama omkhulu kumsibekele; ukulunga lokwahlulela kuhle kuyisisekelo sesihlalo Sakhe sobukhosi.
3 There shall goe a fire before him, and burne vp his enemies round about.
Umlilo uhamba phambi Kwakhe uzihangule izitha zakhe inxa zonke.
4 His lightnings gaue light vnto the worlde: the earth sawe it and was afraide.
Umbane wakhe ukhanyisa umhlaba; umhlaba ukubone lokho uthuthumele.
5 The mountaines melted like waxe at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
Izintaba zincibilika njengengcino phambi kukaThixo, phambi kweNkosi yomhlaba wonke.
6 The heauens declare his righteousnes, and all the people see his glory.
Amazulu amemezela ukulunga kwayo, labantu bonke bayayibona inkazimulo yayo.
7 Confounded be all they that serue grauen images, and that glory in idoles: worship him all ye gods.
Bonke abakhonza izifanekiso bathelwa ihlazo, labo abazikhukhumeza ngezithombe mkhonzeni, lonke lina bonkulunkulu!
8 Zion heard of it, and was glad: and the daughters of Iudah reioyced, because of thy iudgements, O Lord.
IZiyoni iyezwa ithokoze lemizi yakoJuda iyajabula ngenxa yokwahlulela Kwakho, Oh Thixo.
9 For thou, Lord, art most High aboue all the earth: thou art much exalted aboue all gods.
Ngoba wena, Oh Thixo ungoPhezukonke kuwo wonke umhlaba; uphakeme ngaphezulu kakhulu kwabonkulunkulu bonke.
10 Ye that loue the Lord, hate euill: he preserueth the soules of his Saints: hee will deliuer them from the hand of the wicked.
Akuthi bonke abamthandayo, uThixo, bazonde okubi, ngoba uyazilinda impilo zabathembekileyo bakhe abakhulule esandleni sababi.
11 Light is sowen for the righteous, and ioy for the vpright in heart.
Ukukhanya kuyehliselwa kwabalungileyo lentokozo kwabaqotho enhliziyweni.
12 Reioyce ye righteous in the Lord, and giue thankes for his holy remembrance.
Thokozani kuThixo lina elilungileyo, lidumise ibizo lakhe elingcwele.
