Amahubo 21

1 Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Ihubo likaDavida. Yebo Thixo umbusi uyathokoza ngamandla akho. Kukhulu ukuthokoza kwakhe ngokunqoba akuphiwa nguwe!

For the end, a Psalm of David. O Lord, the king shall rejoice in your strength; and in your salvation he shall greatly exult.

2 Usumphile isiloyiso senhliziyo yakhe njalo kawumncitshanga isicelo sezindebe zakhe.

You have granted him the desire of his soul, and have not withheld from him the request of his lips. (Pause)

3 Wamemukela ngezibusiso ezinhle wamethesa umqhele wegolide elicengekileyo ekhanda lakhe.

For you have prevented him with blessings of goodness: you has set upon his head a crown of precious stone.

4 Wacela kuwe ukusila, wamupha ubude bezinsuku kuze kube nini lanini.

He asked life of you, and you gave him length of days for ever and ever.

5 Ngokunqoba akuphiwe nguwe lukhulu udumo lwakhe; usumgqizise inkazimulo lobukhosi.

His glory is great in your salvation: you will crown him with glory and majesty.

6 Ngempela usumuphe izibusiso ezingapheliyo wamenza wajabula ngentokozo yobukhona Bakho.

For you will give him a blessing for ever and ever: you will gladden him with joy with your countenance.

7 Ngoba umbusi uyamthemba uThixo; ngothando loPhezukonke olungaphuthiyo akayikuzanyazanyiswa.

For the king trusts in the Lord, and through the mercy of the Highest he shall not be moved.

8 Isandla Sakho sizazibamba zonke izitha Zakho; isandla Sakho sokunene sizabaxhakalaza abakuzondayo.

Let your hand be found by all your enemies: let your right hand find all that hate you.

9 Kuzakuthi lapho uqhamuka wena uzabenza babe njengomlilo wemvutho enkulu. Ngenxa yentukuthelo yakhe uThixo uzabaginya, umlilo wakhe uzabaqothula.

You shall make them as a fiery oven at the time of your presence: the Lord shall trouble them in his anger, and fire shall devour them.

10 Wena uzabhubhisa izizukulwane zabo emhlabeni, inzalo yabo ebantwini.

You shall destroy their fruit from the earth, and their seed from [among] the sons of men.

11 Loba beceba okubi Ngawe besakha amaqhinga amabi, abangeke baphumelele;

For they intended evils against you; they imagined a device which they shall by no means be able to perform.

12 ngoba uzabenza bafulathele babaleke nxa usubakhombela usulinwebile idandili.

For you shall make them [turn their] back in your latter end, you will prepare their face.

13 Phakanyiswa, Oh Thixo ngamandla Akho; sizahlabela sibabaze amandla Akho.

Be you exalted, O Lord, in your strength: we will sing and praise your mighty acts.
