Psalms 24

1 “Of David a psalm.” Unto the Lord belongeth the earth with what filleth it, the world and they that dwell therein;

Ihubo likaDavida. Umhlaba ngokaThixo, lakho konke okukuwo, ilizwe labo bonke abahlala kulo;

2 For upon seas hath he founded it, and upon rivers hath he established it.

ngoba wenza isisekelo sawo phezu kolwandle wawumisa phezu kwamanzi.

3 Who shall ascend into the mountain of the Lord? and who shall be able to stand in his holy place?

Ngubani ongaqansa intaba kaThixo na? Ngubani ongema endaweni yakhe engcwele na?

4 He that is of clean hands, and pure of heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto falsehood, and hath not sworn deceitfully:

Ngulowo olezandla ezihlanzekileyo lenhliziyo emhlophe, ongaphakamiseli umphefumulo wakhe kunkulunkulu wamanga loba afunge ngenkohliso.

5 He shall bear away blessing from the Lord, and [the reward of] righteousness from the God of his salvation.

Uzakwamukela isibusiso kuThixo lokukhululwa kuNkulunkulu uMsindisi wakhe.

6 This is the generation of those that adore him, that seek thy presence, [the sons of] Jacob. (Selah)

Sinjalo isizukulwane salabo abamdingayo, abadinga ubuso Bakho, Oh Nkulunkulu kaJakhobe.

7 Raise your heads, O ye gates; and be raised wide, ye everlasting doors: and let the King of glory enter!

Phakamisani amakhanda enu, lina masango; phakamani, lina minyango yekadeni, ukuba iNkosi yenkazimulo ingene.

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

Ngubani iNkosi yenkazimulo? NguThixo oqinileyo olamandla, uThixo olamandla empini.

9 Raise your heads, O ye gates; and raise [them] up, ye everlasting doors: and let the King of glory enter!

Phakamisani amakhanda enu, lina masango; aphakamiseni, lina minyango yekadeni, ukuba iNkosi yenkazimulo ingene.

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

Ungubani na lowo Thixo wenkazimulo? NguThixo uSomandla iNkosi yenkazimulo.
