Psalms 21

1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. The king rejoices in your strength, Yahweh! How greatly he rejoices in your salvation!

Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Ihubo likaDavida. Yebo Thixo umbusi uyathokoza ngamandla akho. Kukhulu ukuthokoza kwakhe ngokunqoba akuphiwa nguwe!

2 You have given him his heart’s desire, and have not withheld the request of his lips. (Selah)

Usumphile isiloyiso senhliziyo yakhe njalo kawumncitshanga isicelo sezindebe zakhe.

3 For you meet him with the blessings of goodness. You set a crown of fine gold on his head.

Wamemukela ngezibusiso ezinhle wamethesa umqhele wegolide elicengekileyo ekhanda lakhe.

4 He asked life of you and you gave it to him, even length of days forever and ever.

Wacela kuwe ukusila, wamupha ubude bezinsuku kuze kube nini lanini.

5 His glory is great in your salvation. You lay honor and majesty on him.

Ngokunqoba akuphiwe nguwe lukhulu udumo lwakhe; usumgqizise inkazimulo lobukhosi.

6 For you make him most blessed forever. You make him glad with joy in your presence.

Ngempela usumuphe izibusiso ezingapheliyo wamenza wajabula ngentokozo yobukhona Bakho.

7 For the king trusts in Yahweh. Through the loving kindness of the Most High, he shall not be moved.

Ngoba umbusi uyamthemba uThixo; ngothando loPhezukonke olungaphuthiyo akayikuzanyazanyiswa.

8 Your hand will find out all of your enemies. Your right hand will find out those who hate you.

Isandla Sakho sizazibamba zonke izitha Zakho; isandla Sakho sokunene sizabaxhakalaza abakuzondayo.

9 You will make them as a fiery furnace in the time of your anger. Yahweh will swallow them up in his wrath. The fire shall devour them.

Kuzakuthi lapho uqhamuka wena uzabenza babe njengomlilo wemvutho enkulu. Ngenxa yentukuthelo yakhe uThixo uzabaginya, umlilo wakhe uzabaqothula.

10 You will destroy their descendants from the earth, their posterity from among the children of men.

Wena uzabhubhisa izizukulwane zabo emhlabeni, inzalo yabo ebantwini.

11 For they intended evil against you. They plotted evil against you which cannot succeed.

Loba beceba okubi Ngawe besakha amaqhinga amabi, abangeke baphumelele;

12 For you will make them turn their back, when you aim drawn bows at their face.

ngoba uzabenza bafulathele babaleke nxa usubakhombela usulinwebile idandili.

13 Be exalted, Yahweh, in your strength, so we will sing and praise your power.

Phakanyiswa, Oh Thixo ngamandla Akho; sizahlabela sibabaze amandla Akho.
