Psalms 84
1 To the Overseer. — 'On the Gittith By sons of Korah.' — A Psalm. How beloved Thy tabernacles, Jehovah of Hosts!
Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Ngendlela yegithithi. Elabantwana bakaKhora. Ihubo. Yeka ubuhle bendlu yakho, Oh Thixo Somandla!
2 My soul desired, yea, it hath also been consumed, For the courts of Jehovah, My heart and my flesh cry aloud unto the living God,
Umphefumulo wami uyalangazela, uze ungathi uyaphela, ngifuna amaguma kaThixo; inhliziyo yami lenyama yami kukhalela uNkulunkulu ophilayo.
3 (Even a sparrow hath found a house, And a swallow a nest for herself, Where she hath placed her brood, ) Thine altars, O Jehovah of Hosts, My king and my God.
Intaka layo ilizuzile ikhaya, lenkonjane isidleke sayo, lapho ingazalela khona abantwana bayo indawo eduze kwe-alithari lakho, Oh Thixo Somandla, Nkosi yami loNkulunkulu wami.
4 O the happiness of those inhabiting Thy house, Yet do they praise Thee. (Selah)
Babusisiwe labo abahlala endlini yakho; bahlala bekudumisa kokuphela.
5 O the happiness of a man whose strength is in Thee, Highways [are] in their heart.
Babusisiwe labo abalamandla abo akuwe asebebeke inhliziyo zabo ekulagiseni kuwe.
6 Those passing through a valley of weeping, A fountain do make it, Blessings also cover the director.
Bathi nxa bedabula esiGodini seBhaka basenze sibe yindawo yemithombo; izulu lekwindla lalo ligcwalise iziziba.
7 They go from strength unto strength, He appeareth unto God in Zion.
Ayakhula amandla abo ande, ngulowo lalowo aze aqhamuke kuNkulunkulu eZiyoni.
8 O Jehovah, God of Hosts, hear my prayer, Give ear, O God of Jacob. (Selah)
Zwana umkhuleko wami, Oh Thixo Nkulunkulu Somandla; akungilalele, Oh Nkulunkulu kaJakhobe.
9 Our shield, see, O God, And behold the face of Thine anointed,
Khangela isihlangu sethu, Oh Nkulunkulu; khangela ngomusa kogcotshiweyo wakho.
10 For good [is] a day in Thy courts, O Teacher! I have chosen rather to be at the threshold, In the house of my God, Than to dwell in tents of wickedness.
Lungcono usuku olulodwa emagumeni akho kulensuku eziyinkulungwane kwenye indawo; kungabangcono ngibe ngumlindimasango endlini kaNkulunkulu kulokuhlala emathenteni ababi.
11 For a sun and a shield [is] Jehovah God, Grace and honour doth Jehovah give. He withholdeth not good To those walking in uprightness.
Ngoba uThixo ulilanga lesihlangu; uThixo uyapha umusa lodumo; kancitshani langaluphi ulutho oluhle kulabo ozinyathelo zabo zingelansolo.
12 Jehovah of Hosts! O the happiness of a man trusting in Thee.
Oh Thixo Somandla, ubusisiwe umuntu owethemba kuwe.
