Psalms 9
1 TO THE OVERSEER. [SET] ON “DEATH OF THE SON.” A PSALM OF DAVID. I confess, O YHWH, with all my heart, I recount all Your wonders,
Kumqondisi wokuhlabelela. Ihlatshelwa njengengoma ethi “Ukufa kweNdodana.” Ihubo likaDavida. Ngizakudumisa, Oh Thixo, ngenhliziyo yami yonke; ngizafakaza ngazozonke izimangaliso zakho.
2 I rejoice and exult in You, I praise Your Name, O Most High.
Ngizathokoza ngijabule ngawe, ngizahlabelela indumiso egameni lakho, wena oPhezukonke.
3 In my enemies turning backward, They stumble and perish from Your face.
Izitha zami ziyafulathela zibaleke; ziyakhubeka zitshabalale phambi kwakho.
4 For You have done my judgment and my right. You have sat on a throne, Judging [with] righteousness.
Ngoba ulisekele ilungelo lami; usuhlalile esihlalweni sakho sobukhosi wahlulela kakuhle.
5 You have rebuked nations, You have destroyed the wicked, You have blotted out their name for all time and forever.
Uzikhuzile izizwe, wababhubhisa ababi; wawesula amabizo abo kuze kube nini lanini.
6 The enemy—[your] destructions have been completed forever, As for cities you have plucked up, Their memorial has perished with them.
Ukubhidlika okungapheliyo kusehlele isitha sami, wawasiphuna amadolobho aso; lokukhunjulwa kwaso sekuphele nya.
7 And YHWH abides for all time, He is preparing His throne for judgment.
UThixo uyabusa kuze kube nininini; usesimisile isihlalo sakhe sobukhosi ukuze ahlulele.
8 And He judges the world in righteousness, He judges the peoples in uprightness.
Uzabusa umhlaba ngokulunga njalo uzakwahlulela abantu ngokufaneleyo.
9 And YHWH is a tower for the bruised, A tower for times of adversity.
UThixo uyisiphephelo sabancindezelweyo, uyinqaba ezikhathini zokuhlupheka.
10 They trust in You who know Your Name, For You have not forsaken those seeking You, O YHWH.
Labo abalaziyo ibizo lakho bazathemba kuwe, ngoba wena, Thixo, kawubafulatheli abakudingayo.
11 Sing praise to YHWH, inhabiting Zion, Declare His acts among the peoples,
Hlabelelani indumiso kuThixo esebukhosini eZiyoni; fakazani phakathi kwezizwe ngalokho akwenzileyo.
12 For He who is seeking for blood Has remembered them, He has not forgotten the cry of the afflicted.
Ngoba yena ophindiselayo kulowo ochitha igazi uyakhumbula; akakudeli ukukhala kwabahlukuluzwayo.
13 Favor me, O YHWH, See my affliction by those hating me, You who lift me up from the gates of death,
Oh Thixo, ake ubone ukuthi izitha zami zingichukuluza njani! Yiba lesihawu ungenyule emasangweni okufa,
14 So that I recount all Your praise, In the gates of the daughter of Zion. I rejoice on Your salvation.
ukuze ngifakaze indumiso yakho emasangweni eNdodakazi yaseZiyoni kuthi khonale ngithokoze ngokusindisa kwakho.
15 Nations have sunk in a pit they made, Their foot has been captured in a net that they hid.
Izizwe ziwele emgodini eziwumbileyo; inyawo zazo zibanjwe emambuleni eziwathiyileyo.
16 YHWH has been known, He has done judgment; By a work of his hands The wicked has been snared. (Meditation, Selah)
UThixo waziwa ngokwahlulela kwakhe okulungileyo; ababi babanjwa yizenzo zezandla zabo.
Ababi babuyela engcwabeni, zonke izizwe ezikhohlwa uNkulunkulu. (Sheol h7585)
18 For the needy is not forgotten forever, [Nor] the hope of the humble lost for all time.
Kodwa abaswelayo kabayikukhohlakala kokuphela, njalo lethemba labahlukuluzwayo kaliyikutshabalala.
19 Rise, O YHWH, do not let man be strong, Let nations be judged before Your face.
Vuka Thixo, ungayekeli umuntu anqobe; akuthi izizwe zahlulelwe phambi kwakho.
20 Appoint them to fear, O YHWH, Let nations know they [are] men! (Selah)
Batshayise ngovalo, Oh Thixo; akuthi izizwe zikwazi ukuthi zingabantu nje.
