Psalms 21

1 The king shall joy in thy strength, O Yhwh; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!

Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Ihubo likaDavida. Yebo Thixo umbusi uyathokoza ngamandla akho. Kukhulu ukuthokoza kwakhe ngokunqoba akuphiwa nguwe!

2 Thou hast given him his heart’s desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips. (Selah)

Usumphile isiloyiso senhliziyo yakhe njalo kawumncitshanga isicelo sezindebe zakhe.

3 For thou puttest before him blessings of goodness: thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head.

Wamemukela ngezibusiso ezinhle wamethesa umqhele wegolide elicengekileyo ekhanda lakhe.

4 He asked life of thee, and thou gavest it him, even length of days for ever and ever.

Wacela kuwe ukusila, wamupha ubude bezinsuku kuze kube nini lanini.

5 His glory is great in thy salvation: honour and majesty hast thou laid upon him.

Ngokunqoba akuphiwe nguwe lukhulu udumo lwakhe; usumgqizise inkazimulo lobukhosi.

6 For thou hast made him most blessed for ever: thou hast made him exceeding glad with thy countenance.

Ngempela usumuphe izibusiso ezingapheliyo wamenza wajabula ngentokozo yobukhona Bakho.

7 For the king trusteth in Yhwh, and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved.

Ngoba umbusi uyamthemba uThixo; ngothando loPhezukonke olungaphuthiyo akayikuzanyazanyiswa.

8 Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee.

Isandla Sakho sizazibamba zonke izitha Zakho; isandla Sakho sokunene sizabaxhakalaza abakuzondayo.

9 Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of thine anger: Yhwh shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them.

Kuzakuthi lapho uqhamuka wena uzabenza babe njengomlilo wemvutho enkulu. Ngenxa yentukuthelo yakhe uThixo uzabaginya, umlilo wakhe uzabaqothula.

10 Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.

Wena uzabhubhisa izizukulwane zabo emhlabeni, inzalo yabo ebantwini.

11 For they intended evil against thee: they imagined a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform.

Loba beceba okubi Ngawe besakha amaqhinga amabi, abangeke baphumelele;

12 Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back, when thou shalt make ready thine arrows upon thy strings against the face of them.

ngoba uzabenza bafulathele babaleke nxa usubakhombela usulinwebile idandili.

13 Be thou exalted, Yhwh, in thine own strength: so will we sing and praise thy power.

Phakanyiswa, Oh Thixo ngamandla Akho; sizahlabela sibabaze amandla Akho.
