Amahubo 110

1 ElikaDavida. Ihubo. UThixo uthi enkosini yami: “Hlala ngakwesokunene sami ngize ngenze izitha zakho zibe yisinyathelo senyawo zakho.”

David’s. A Melody. The declaration of Yahweh to my Lord—Sit thou at my right hand, Until I make thy foes thy footstool.

2 UThixo uzakwelula intonga yakhe elamandla eyobukhosi kusuka eZiyoni wena uzabusa phakathi kwezitha zakho

Thy sceptre of strength, will Yahweh extend out of Zion, Tread thou down, in the midst of thy foes.

3 Amabutho akho azazinikela mhla uphuma impi. Wembethe ubukhosi obungcwele, phakathi komnyama wempondozankomo uzakwamukela amazolo obutsha bakho.

Thy people, will freely offer themselves, in the day of thine army, —in the splendours of holiness, out of the womb of the dawn, To thee, [shall spring forth] the dew of thy youth.

4 UThixo ufungile njalo kasoze ayiguqule ingqondo yakhe: “Wena ungumphristi kuze kube nini lanini emkhondweni kaMelikhizedekhi.”

Yahweh, hath sworn—and will not repent, Thou, [shalt be] a priest unto times age-abiding, after the manner of Melchizedek.

5 INkosi ikwesokunene sakho; izawachoboza amakhosi mhla wosuku lokuthukuthela kwayo.

My Lord, on thy right hand, —hath shattered—in the day of his anger—kings;

6 Izazahlulela izizwe, yenze inqwaba yabafileyo njalo ibachoboze ababusi bomhlaba wonke.

He will judge among the nations—full of dead bodies! He hath shattered the head over a land far extended:

7 Izanatha emfuleni oseceleni kwendlela; ngakho-ke izaliphakamisa ikhanda layo.

Of the torrent in the way, will he drink; —For this cause, will he lift up [his] head.
