< Psalms 99 >
1 The LORD reigns; let the people tremble: he sits between the cherubim; let the earth be moved.
UThixo uyabusa, izizwe kazithuthumele; uhlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi phakathi kwamakherubhi, umhlaba kawuzamazame.
2 The LORD is great in Zion; and he is high above all the people.
Mkhulu uThixo eZiyoni; uphakeme ngaphezu kwezizwe zonke.
3 Let them praise your great and terrible name; for it is holy.
Kabadumise ibizo Lakho elikhulu elesabekayo Yena ungcwele.
4 The king’s strength also loves judgment; you do establish equity, you execute judgment and righteousness in Jacob.
INkosi ilamandla, ithanda ukwahlulela okuhle umisile ukwaba ngemfanelo; kuJakhobe usuwenzile okuqondileyo lokulungileyo.
5 Exalt you the LORD our God, and worship at his footstool; for he is holy.
Dumisani uThixo uNkulunkulu wethu likhonze phansi kwesihlalo sakhe; yena ungcwele.
6 Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call on his name; they called on the LORD, and he answered them.
UMosi lo-Aroni babephakathi kwabaphristi bakhe, uSamuyeli wayekulabo ababelibiza ibizo lakhe; bambiza uThixo Yena wabaphendula.
7 He spoke to them in the cloudy pillar: they kept his testimonies, and the ordinance that he gave them.
Wabakhulumisa ephakathi kwensika yeyezi; bagcina izimiso zakhe lezimemezelo azitshoyo kubo.
8 You answered them, O LORD our God: you were a God that forgave them, though you took vengeance of their inventions.
Oh Thixo Nkulunkulu wethu, wabaphendula; ku-Israyeli wawunguNkulunkulu othethelelayo, lanxa wabajezisa ngenxa yezenzo zabo ezimbi.
9 Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at his holy hill; for the LORD our God is holy.
Phakamisani uThixo uNkulunkulu wethu, limkhonze entabeni yakhe engcwele, ngoba uThixo uNkulunkulu wethu ungcwele.
