Psalms 96

1 O 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; show forth his salvation from day to day.

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

3 Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people.

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

4 For the LORD is great, 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 nations are idols: but the LORD made the heavens.

Ngoba bonke onkulunkulu bezizwe bayizithombe, kodwa uThixo wadala amazulu.

6 Honour and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

Inkazimulo lobukhosi kuphambi Kwakhe; amandla lobukhosi kusendlini yakhe engcwele.

7 Give to the LORD, O ye kindreds of the people, give to the LORD glory and strength.

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

8 Give 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 O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth.

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

10 Say among the heathen that the LORD reigneth: the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people righteously.

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

11 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and all it containeth.

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

12 Let the field be joyful, and all that is in it: then shall all the trees of the forest rejoice

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

13 Before the LORD: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth.

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