Psalms 108
1 A Song, a Psalm of David. Prepared is my heart, O God, I sing, yea, I sing praise, also my honour.
Inhliziyo yami iqinile, Nkulunkulu. Ngizahlabelela ngitshotshe, ngitsho udumo lwami!
2 Awake, psaltery and harp, I awake the dawn.
Vukani gubhu lwezintambo lechacho! Ngizavusa ukusa.
3 I thank Thee among peoples, O Jehovah, And I praise Thee among the nations.
Ngizakudumisa, Nkosi, phakathi kwabantu, ngihlabele indumiso kuwe phakathi kwezizwe.
4 For great above the heavens [is] Thy kindness, And unto the clouds Thy truth.
Ngoba umusa wakho mkhulu phezu kwamazulu, leqiniso lakho lifika emayezini.
5 Be Thou exalted above the heavens, O God, And above all the earth Thy honour.
Phakama, Nkulunkulu, ngaphezu kwamazulu, lobukhosi bakho phezu komhlaba wonke.
6 That Thy beloved ones may be delivered, Save [with] Thy right hand, and answer us.
Ukuze abathandekayo bakho bakhululwe; sindisa ngesandla sakho sokunene, ungiphendule.
7 God hath spoken in His holiness: I exult, I apportion Shechem, And the valley of Succoth I measure,
UNkulunkulu ukhulumile ebungcweleni bakhe. Ngizathaba, ngiyabe iShekema, ngilinganise isihotsha seSukothi.
8 Mine [is] Gilead, mine [is] Manasseh, And Ephraim [is] the strength of my head, Judah [is] my lawgiver,
Ngeyami iGileyadi, ngowami uManase, loEfrayimi ungamandla ekhanda lami, uJuda ungumnikumthetho wami.
9 Moab [is] a pot for my washing, Upon Edom I cast my shoe, Over Philistia I shout habitually.
UMowabi ungumganu wami wokugezela; phezu kukaEdoma ngizaphosela inyathela lami; phezu kweFilisti ngizamemeza ngokunqoba.
10 Who doth bring me in to the fenced city? Who hath led me unto Edom?
Ngubani ozangisa emzini oqinileyo? Ngubani ozangiholela eEdoma?
11 Hast not Thou, O God, cast us off? And Thou goest not out, O God, with our hosts!
Kawusilahlanga yini, Nkulunkulu; kawuphumanga, Nkulunkulu, lamabutho ethu?
12 Give to us help from adversity, And vain is the salvation of man.
Siphe usizo ekuhlupheni, ngoba luyize uncedo lomuntu.
13 In God we do mightily, And He doth tread down our adversaries!
KuNkulunkulu sizakwenza ngobuqhawe, ngoba yena uzanyathelela phansi izitha zethu.
