Psalms 108
1 O god, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.
Inhliziyo yami iqinile, Nkulunkulu. Ngizahlabelela ngitshotshe, ngitsho udumo lwami!
2 Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.
Vukani gubhu lwezintambo lechacho! Ngizavusa ukusa.
3 I will praise you, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises to you among the nations.
Ngizakudumisa, Nkosi, phakathi kwabantu, ngihlabele indumiso kuwe phakathi kwezizwe.
4 For your mercy is great above the heavens: and your truth reaches to the clouds.
Ngoba umusa wakho mkhulu phezu kwamazulu, leqiniso lakho lifika emayezini.
5 Be you exalted, O God, above the heavens: and your glory above all the earth;
Phakama, Nkulunkulu, ngaphezu kwamazulu, lobukhosi bakho phezu komhlaba wonke.
6 That your beloved may be delivered: save with your right hand, and answer me.
Ukuze abathandekayo bakho bakhululwe; sindisa ngesandla sakho sokunene, ungiphendule.
7 God has spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
UNkulunkulu ukhulumile ebungcweleni bakhe. Ngizathaba, ngiyabe iShekema, ngilinganise isihotsha seSukothi.
8 Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of my head; Judah is my lawgiver;
Ngeyami iGileyadi, ngowami uManase, loEfrayimi ungamandla ekhanda lami, uJuda ungumnikumthetho wami.
9 Moab is my wash pot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.
UMowabi ungumganu wami wokugezela; phezu kukaEdoma ngizaphosela inyathela lami; phezu kweFilisti ngizamemeza ngokunqoba.
10 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
Ngubani ozangisa emzini oqinileyo? Ngubani ozangiholela eEdoma?
11 Will not you, O God, who have cast us off? and will not you, O God, go forth with our hosts?
Kawusilahlanga yini, Nkulunkulu; kawuphumanga, Nkulunkulu, lamabutho ethu?
12 Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.
Siphe usizo ekuhlupheni, ngoba luyize uncedo lomuntu.
13 Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
KuNkulunkulu sizakwenza ngobuqhawe, ngoba yena uzanyathelela phansi izitha zethu.
