Amahubo 149

1 Dumisani uThixo. Hlabelelani uThixo ingoma entsha, indumiso yakhe ebandleni labathembekileyo.

Alleluia. Sing to the Lord a new song: his praise is in the assembly of the saints.

2 Akuthi u-Israyeli athokoze ngoMenzi wakhe; akuthi abantu baseZiyoni bajabule ngeNkosi yabo.

Let Israel rejoice in him that made him; and let the children of Sion exult in their king.

3 Kabadumise ibizo lakhe ngokusina, batshaye amagedla lamachacho.

Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sings praises to him with timbrel and lute.

4 Ngoba uThixo uyathokoza ngabantu bakhe; abathobekileyo ubapha umqhele wensindiso.

For the Lord takes pleasure in his people; and will exalt the meek with salvation.

5 Akuthi abathembekileyo bathokoze ngale inhlonipho, bahlabele ngentokozo besemibhedeni yabo.

The saints shall rejoice in glory; and shall exult on their beds.

6 Sengathi indumiso kaNkulunkulu ingaba semilonyeni yabo lenkemba esika nxazonke ibe sezandleni zabo,

The high praises of God shall be in their throat, and two-edged swords in their hands;

7 ukuthi benze impindiselo phezu kwezizwe lesijeziso phezu kwabantu,

to execute vengeance on the nations, [and] punishments amongst the peoples;

8 babophe amakhosi azo ngentambo lezikhulu zabo ngezibopho zensimbi,

to bind their kings with fetters, and their nobles with manacles of iron; to execute on them the judgement written: this honour have all his saints.

9 ukugcwalisa kubo isigwebo abasibhalelwayo. Lokhu kuyinkazimulo yabathembekileyo bakhe bonke. Dumisani uThixo.
