Psalms 96

1 Sing to the LORD a new song. Sing to the LORD, all the earth.

Hlabelani kuThixo ingoma entsha; hlabelani kuThixo mhlaba wonke.

2 Sing to the LORD. Bless his name. Proclaim his salvation from day to day.

Hlabelani kuThixo, dumisani ibizo lakhe; memezelani insindiso yakhe insuku ngezinsuku.

3 Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples.

Fakazani ngobukhosi bakhe ezizweni zonke, lemisebenzi yakhe emangalisayo phakathi kwabantu bonke.

4 For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised. He is to be feared above all gods.

Ngoba umkhulu uThixo, ufanele ukudunyiswa ngokuphindiweyo; kumele esatshwe ngaphezu kwabonkulunkulu bonke.

5 For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but the LORD made the heavens.

Ngoba bonke onkulunkulu bezizwe bayizithombe, kodwa uThixo wadala amazulu.

6 Honor and majesty are before him. Strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

Inkazimulo lobukhosi kuphambi Kwakhe; amandla lobukhosi kusendlini yakhe engcwele.

7 Ascribe to the LORD, you families of nations, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.

Mnikeni uThixo, lina zizukulwane zezizwe. Mnikeni uThixo ubukhosi lamandla.

8 Ascribe to the LORD the glory due to his name. Bring an offering, and come into his courts.

Mnikeni uThixo udumo olufanele ibizo lakhe. Lethani umnikelo libuye phambi kwakhe.

9 Worship the LORD in holy array. Tremble before him, all the earth.

Mkhonzeni uThixo enkazimulweni yobungcwele bakhe; thuthumelani phambi kwakhe mhlaba wonke.

10 Say among the nations, "The LORD reigns." The world is also established. It can't be moved. He will judge the peoples with equity.

Wothini phakathi kwezizwe, “UThixo uyabusa.” Umhlaba ugxilile, ungeke wagudluzwa; uzabehlulela abantu ngokubafaneleyo.

11 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice. Let the sea roar, and its fullness.

Amazulu kawathokoze, lomhlaba ujabule; ulwandle kaluhlokome, lakho konke okukulo;

12 Let the field and all that is in it exult. Then all the trees of the woods shall sing for joy

amasimu kawathakazelele lakho konke okukuwo. Lapho-ke izihlahla zonke zeganga zizahlabela ngentokozo;

13 before the LORD; for he comes, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, the peoples with his truth.

phambi kukaThixo, ngoba uyeza, uyeza ukuzakwahlulela umhlaba. Uzakwahlulela umhlaba ngokulunga, ahlulele abantu ngeqiniso.
