< Amahubo 21 >
1 Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Ihubo likaDavida. Yebo Thixo umbusi uyathokoza ngamandla akho. Kukhulu ukuthokoza kwakhe ngokunqoba akuphiwa nguwe!
TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. YHWH, the king is joyful in Your strength, How greatly he rejoices in Your salvation.
2 Usumphile isiloyiso senhliziyo yakhe njalo kawumncitshanga isicelo sezindebe zakhe.
You gave the desire of his heart to him, And You have not withheld the request of his lips. (Selah)
3 Wamemukela ngezibusiso ezinhle wamethesa umqhele wegolide elicengekileyo ekhanda lakhe.
For You put blessings of goodness before him, You set a crown of fine gold on his head.
4 Wacela kuwe ukusila, wamupha ubude bezinsuku kuze kube nini lanini.
He has asked for life from You, You have given length of days to him, For all time and forever.
5 Ngokunqoba akuphiwe nguwe lukhulu udumo lwakhe; usumgqizise inkazimulo lobukhosi.
Great [is] his glory in Your salvation, You place splendor and majesty on him.
6 Ngempela usumuphe izibusiso ezingapheliyo wamenza wajabula ngentokozo yobukhona Bakho.
For You make him blessings forever, You cause him to rejoice with joy, By Your countenance.
7 Ngoba umbusi uyamthemba uThixo; ngothando loPhezukonke olungaphuthiyo akayikuzanyazanyiswa.
For the king is trusting in YHWH, And in the kindness of the Most High he is not moved.
8 Isandla Sakho sizazibamba zonke izitha Zakho; isandla Sakho sokunene sizabaxhakalaza abakuzondayo.
Your hand comes to all Your enemies, Your right hand finds Your haters.
9 Kuzakuthi lapho uqhamuka wena uzabenza babe njengomlilo wemvutho enkulu. Ngenxa yentukuthelo yakhe uThixo uzabaginya, umlilo wakhe uzabaqothula.
You make them as a furnace of fire, At the time of Your presence. YHWH swallows them in His anger, And fire devours them.
10 Wena uzabhubhisa izizukulwane zabo emhlabeni, inzalo yabo ebantwini.
You destroy their fruit from earth, And their seed from the sons of men.
11 Loba beceba okubi Ngawe besakha amaqhinga amabi, abangeke baphumelele;
For they stretched out evil against You, They devised a wicked scheme, they do not prevail,
12 ngoba uzabenza bafulathele babaleke nxa usubakhombela usulinwebile idandili.
For You make them turn their back, When You prepare Your strings against their faces.
13 Phakanyiswa, Oh Thixo ngamandla Akho; sizahlabela sibabaze amandla Akho.
Be exalted, O YHWH, in Your strength, We sing and we praise Your might!
