Psalms 24

1 The earth is the LORD’s, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

Umhlaba ungoweNkosi, lokugcwala kwawo, ilizwe, labahlala kulo.

2 For he has founded it on the seas, and established it on the floods.

Ngoba yona yawusekela phezu kwezinlwandle, yawumisa phezu kwemifula.

3 Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place?

Ngubani ozakwenyukela entabeni yeNkosi? Kumbe ngubani ozakuma endaweni yayo engcwele?

4 He that has clean hands, and a pure heart; who has not lifted up his soul to vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.

Ngulowo olezandla ezihlanzekileyo lenhliziyo emhlophe, ongaphakamiseli umphefumulo wakhe kokuyize longafungi ngenkohliso.

5 He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

Uzakwemukela isibusiso eNkosini, lokulunga kuNkulunkulu wosindiso lwakhe.

6 This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek your face, O Jacob. (Selah)

Lesi yisizukulwana salabo abayidingayo, abadinga ubuso bakho, ngitsho Jakobe. (Sela)

7 Lift up your heads, O you gates; and be you lift up, you everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

Phakamisani inhloko zenu, lina masango, phakanyiswani, lina minyango yaphakade, ukuze kungene iNkosi yenkazimulo.

8 Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.

Ingubani liNkosi yenkazimulo? INkosi elamandla leliqhawe, iNkosi elamandla empini.

9 Lift up your heads, O you gates; even lift them up, you everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

Phakamisani inhloko zenu, lina masango, yebo, phakamani, lina minyango yaphakade, ukuze kungene iNkosi yenkazimulo.

10 Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory. (Selah)

Ingubani liNkosi yenkazimulo? INkosi yamabandla, yiyo eyiNkosi yenkazimulo. (Sela)
