Psalms 96
1 Sing to the LORD a new song! Sing to the LORD, all the earth.
Hlabelani eNkosini ingoma entsha; hlabelelani eNkosini, mhlaba wonke.
2 Sing to the LORD! Bless his name! Proclaim his salvation from day to day!
Hlabelani eNkosini, lidumise ibizo layo, litshumayele usindiso lwayo insuku ngensuku.
3 Declare his glory amongst the nations, his marvellous works amongst all the peoples.
Landisani udumo lwayo phakathi kwezizwe, izimangaliso zayo phakathi kwabantu bonke.
4 For the LORD is great, and greatly to be praised! He is to be feared above all gods.
Ngoba yinkulu iNkosi, ifanele ukudunyiswa kakhulu, yona iyesabeka phezu kwabonkulunkulu bonke.
5 For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but the LORD made the heavens.
Ngoba bonke onkulunkulu bezizwe bayizithombe; kodwa iNkosi yenza amazulu.
6 Honour and majesty are before him. Strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
Ubukhosi lenkazimulo kuphambi kwayo, amandla lobuhle kusendlini yayo engcwele.
7 Ascribe to the LORD, you families of nations, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.
Inikeni iNkosi, zizukulwana zezizwe, inikeni iNkosi udumo lamandla.
8 Ascribe to the LORD the glory due to his name. Bring an offering, and come into his courts.
Inikeni iNkosi udumo lwebizo layo; lethani umnikelo, lingene emagumeni ayo.
9 Worship the LORD in holy array. Tremble before him, all the earth.
Ikhonzeni iNkosi ebuhleni bobungcwele; lithuthumele phambi kwayo, mhlaba wonke.
10 Say amongst the nations, “The LORD reigns.” The world is also established. It can’t be moved. He will judge the peoples with equity.
Tshonini phakathi kwezizwe: INkosi iyabusa. Lomhlaba umisiwe, kawuyikunyikinyeka; izabahlulela abantu ngokuqonda.
11 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice. Let the sea roar, and its fullness!
Kawathokoze amazulu, lomhlaba ujabule; kaluhlokome ulwandle lokugcwala kwalo.
12 Let the field and all that is in it exult! Then all the trees of the woods shall sing for joy
Iganga kalithabe lakho konke okukulo. Khona izihlahla zonke zegusu 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 kweNkosi, ngoba iyeza, ngoba iyeza ukwahlulela umhlaba; izakwahlulela umhlaba ngokulunga, labantu ngeqiniso layo.
