Psalms 84
1 For the Leader; upon the Gittith. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. How lovely are Thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!
Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Ngendlela yegithithi. Elabantwana bakaKhora. Ihubo. Yeka ubuhle bendlu yakho, Oh Thixo Somandla!
2 My soul yearneth, yea, even pineth for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh sing for joy unto the living God.
Umphefumulo wami uyalangazela, uze ungathi uyaphela, ngifuna amaguma kaThixo; inhliziyo yami lenyama yami kukhalela uNkulunkulu ophilayo.
3 Yea, the sparrow hath found a house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young; Thine altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God —.
Intaka layo ilizuzile ikhaya, lenkonjane isidleke sayo, lapho ingazalela khona abantwana bayo indawo eduze kwe-alithari lakho, Oh Thixo Somandla, Nkosi yami loNkulunkulu wami.
4 Happy are they that dwell in Thy house, they are ever praising Thee. (Selah)
Babusisiwe labo abahlala endlini yakho; bahlala bekudumisa kokuphela.
5 Happy is the man whose strength is in Thee; in whose heart are the highways.
Babusisiwe labo abalamandla abo akuwe asebebeke inhliziyo zabo ekulagiseni kuwe.
6 Passing through the valley of Baca they make it a place of springs; yea, the early rain clotheth it with blessings.
Bathi nxa bedabula esiGodini seBhaka basenze sibe yindawo yemithombo; izulu lekwindla lalo ligcwalise iziziba.
7 They go from strength to strength, every one of them appeareth before God in Zion.
Ayakhula amandla abo ande, ngulowo lalowo aze aqhamuke kuNkulunkulu eZiyoni.
8 O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer; give ear, O God of Jacob. (Selah)
Zwana umkhuleko wami, Oh Thixo Nkulunkulu Somandla; akungilalele, Oh Nkulunkulu kaJakhobe.
9 Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of Thine anointed.
Khangela isihlangu sethu, Oh Nkulunkulu; khangela ngomusa kogcotshiweyo wakho.
10 For a day in Thy courts is better than a thousand; I had rather stand at the threshold of the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
Lungcono usuku olulodwa emagumeni akho kulensuku eziyinkulungwane kwenye indawo; kungabangcono ngibe ngumlindimasango endlini kaNkulunkulu kulokuhlala emathenteni ababi.
11 For the LORD God is a sun and a shield; the LORD giveth grace and glory; no good thing will He withhold from them that walk uprightly.
Ngoba uThixo ulilanga lesihlangu; uThixo uyapha umusa lodumo; kancitshani langaluphi ulutho oluhle kulabo ozinyathelo zabo zingelansolo.
12 O LORD of hosts, happy is the man that trusteth in Thee.
Oh Thixo Somandla, ubusisiwe umuntu owethemba kuwe.
