Amahubo 108
1 Ingoma. Ihubo likaDavida. Inhliziyo yami ibambelele, kayiguquki, Oh Nkulunkulu; ngizahlabela ngenze iculo elimnandi ngomoya wami wonke.
A Song, a Psalm of David. My heart is fixed, O God: I will sing, yea, I will sing psalms, even [with] my glory.
2 Vuka, mhubhe lechacho! Ngizayivusa intathakusa.
Awake, lute and harp: I will wake the dawn.
3 Ngizakudumisa, yebo Thixo, phakathi kwezizwe; ngizahlabela ngawe phakathi kwabantu.
I will give thee thanks among the peoples, O Jehovah; of thee will I sing psalms among the nations:
4 Ngoba lukhulu uthando lwakho, luphakame kulamazulu; ukwethembeka kwakho kufinyelela emkhathini.
For thy loving-kindness is great above the heavens, and thy truth is unto the clouds.
5 Kawuphakanyiswe, yebo Nkulunkulu, ngaphezu kwamazulu, akuthi inkazimulo yakho ibe khona emhlabeni wonke.
Be thou exalted above the heavens, O God, and thy glory above all the earth.
6 Sisindise usisize ngesandla sakho sokunene, ukuze kuthi laba obathandayo bakhululwe.
That thy beloved ones may be delivered: save with thy right hand, and answer me.
7 UNkulunkulu usekhulumile esendlini yakhe engcwele: “Ngokunqoba ngizayaba iShekhemu ngihlole leSigodi saseSukhothi.
God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
8 Ngeyami iGiliyadi, loManase ngowami; u-Efrayimi yisivikelo sekhanda lami, uJuda uyintonga yami yobukhosi.
Gilead is mine, Manasseh is mine, and Ephraim is the strength of my head; Judah is my law-giver;
9 IMowabi ngumganu wami wokugezela, phezu kuka-Edomi ngiphosela amanyathelo ami; phezu kweFilistiya ngihalalisa umkhosi wokunqoba.”
Moab is my wash-pot; upon Edom will I cast my sandal; over Philistia will I shout aloud.
10 Ngubani ozangisa emzini olenqaba na? Ngubani ozangiholela e-Edomi na?
Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me unto Edom?
11 Kakusuwe na, Oh Nkulunkulu, wena osusikhalele, ongasaphumi lathi ezimpini zethu?
[Wilt] not [thou], O God, who didst cast us off? and didst not go forth, O God, with our armies?
12 Ake usisize ezitheni zethu, ngoba usizo lomuntu luyize.
Give us help from trouble; for vain is man's deliverance.
13 Nxa siloNkulunkulu sizanqoba, njalo uzazinyathelela phansi izitha zethu.
Through God we shall do valiantly; and he it is that will tread down our adversaries.
