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,
Ngizakudumisa, Nkosi, ngenhliziyo yami yonke, ngilandise zonke izimangaliso zakho.
2 I rejoice and exult in You, I praise Your Name, O Most High.
Ngizathaba ngithokoze kuwe, ngihlabele indumiso ebizweni lakho, wena oPhezukonke.
3 In my enemies turning backward, They stumble and perish from Your face.
Lapho izitha zami zibuyela emuva, zizakuwa, zibhubhe phambi kwakho.
4 For You have done my judgment and my right. You have sat on a throne, Judging [with] righteousness.
Ngoba ulimele ilungelo lami lodaba lwami, wahlala esihlalweni sobukhosi, wahlulela ngokulungileyo.
5 You have rebuked nations, You have destroyed the wicked, You have blotted out their name for all time and forever.
Uzikhuzile izizwe, wabhubhisa omubi; walesula ibizo labo 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.
Izitha ziphelile, izincithakalo eziphakade; uyidilizile imizi; ukukhunjulwa kwabo kubhubhe kanye labo.
7 And YHWH abides for all time, He is preparing His throne for judgment.
Kodwa iNkosi izahlala kuze kube phakade, isihlalo sayo sobukhosi isilungisele isahlulelo.
8 And He judges the world in righteousness, He judges the peoples in uprightness.
Yona-ke izawahlulela umhlaba ngokulunga, ibagwebe abantu ngokuqonda.
9 And YHWH is a tower for the bruised, A tower for times of adversity.
Njalo iNkosi izakuba yisiphephelo socindezelweyo, isiphephelo ngezikhathi zokuhlupheka.
10 They trust in You who know Your Name, For You have not forsaken those seeking You, O YHWH.
Labalaziyo ibizo lakho bazathemba kuwe, ngoba wena Nkosi, kawubatshiyanga abakudingayo.
11 Sing praise to YHWH, inhabiting Zion, Declare His acts among the peoples,
Hlabelani indumiso eNkosini ehlezi eZiyoni, limemezele phakathi kwabantu izenzo zayo.
12 For He who is seeking for blood Has remembered them, He has not forgotten the cry of the afflicted.
Nxa idinga igazi, iyabakhumbula, kayikhohlwa ukukhala kwabahlutshwayo.
13 Favor me, O YHWH, See my affliction by those hating me, You who lift me up from the gates of death,
Woba lomusa kimi, Nkosi, ubone uhlupho lwami oluvela kwabangizondayo, wena ongiphakamisayo emasangweni okufa,
14 So that I recount all Your praise, In the gates of the daughter of Zion. I rejoice on Your salvation.
ukuze ngilandise yonke indumiso yakho emasangweni endodakazi yeZiyoni, ngithokoze kusindiso lwakho.
15 Nations have sunk in a pit they made, Their foot has been captured in a net that they hid.
Izizwe zitshone emgodini ezawenzayo, embuleni ezalithiyayo unyawo lwazo lubanjiwe.
16 YHWH has been known, He has done judgment; By a work of his hands The wicked has been snared. (Meditation, Selah)
INkosi izazisile, yenza isahlulelo; omubi uthiywe emsebenzini wezandla zakhe. Higayoni. (Sela)
Abakhohlakeleyo bazabuyela esihogweni, zonke izizwe ezimkhohlwayo uNkulunkulu. (Sheol h7585)
18 For the needy is not forgotten forever, [Nor] the hope of the humble lost for all time.
Ngoba oswelayo kayikukhohlakala kokuphela; ithemba labayanga kaliyikunyamalala phakade.
19 Rise, O YHWH, do not let man be strong, Let nations be judged before Your face.
Vuka, Nkosi, umuntu kanganqobi; izizwe kazigwetshwe phambi kwakho.
20 Appoint them to fear, O YHWH, Let nations know they [are] men! (Selah)
Zitshayise ngovalo, Nkosi, izizwe kazikwazi ukuthi zingabantu nje. (Sela)
