Psalms 108

1 O Elohim, 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 thee, O YHWH, among the people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.

Ngizakudumisa, Nkosi, phakathi kwabantu, ngihlabele indumiso kuwe phakathi kwezizwe.

4 For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth reacheth unto the clouds.

Ngoba umusa wakho mkhulu phezu kwamazulu, leqiniso lakho lifika emayezini.

5 Be thou exalted, O Elohim, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth;

Phakama, Nkulunkulu, ngaphezu kwamazulu, lobukhosi bakho phezu komhlaba wonke.

6 That thy beloved may be delivered: save with thy right hand, and answer me.

Ukuze abathandekayo bakho bakhululwe; sindisa ngesandla sakho sokunene, ungiphendule.

7 Elohim hath 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 mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;

Ngeyami iGileyadi, ngowami uManase, loEfrayimi ungamandla ekhanda lami, uJuda ungumnikumthetho wami.

9 Moab is my washpot; 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 Wilt not thou, O Elohim, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O Elohim, 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 Elohim we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.

KuNkulunkulu sizakwenza ngobuqhawe, ngoba yena uzanyathelela phansi izitha zethu.
