Amahubo 149

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

Sing ye to the Lord a new canticle: let his praise be in the church 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 be joyful in their king.

3 Kabadumise ibizo lakhe ngokusina, batshaye amagedla lamachacho.

Let them praise his name in choir: let them sing to him with the timbrel and the psaltery.

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

For the Lord is well pleased with his people: and he will exalt the meek unto salvation.

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

The saints shall rejoice in glory: they shall be joyful in their beds.

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

The high praise of God shall be in their mouth: and two-edged swords in their hands:

7 ukuthi benze impindiselo phezu kwezizwe lesijeziso phezu kwabantu,

To execute vengeance upon the nations, chastisements among the people:

8 babophe amakhosi azo ngentambo lezikhulu zabo ngezibopho zensimbi,

To bind their kings with fetters, and their nobles with manacles of iron.

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

To execute upon them the judgment that is written: this glory is to all his saints. Alleluia.
