Yahweh, ([I], your king am glad/the king is glad) because you have caused me/him to be strong. (I rejoice/he rejoices) greatly because you have rescued me/him [from my/his enemies].
2 Usumphile isiloyiso senhliziyo yakhe njalo kawumncitshanga isicelo sezindebe zakhe.
You have given me/him the things that I/he [SYN] desired and you have not refused to do what I requested you to do.
3 Wamemukela ngezibusiso ezinhle wamethesa umqhele wegolide elicengekileyo ekhanda lakhe.
In answer to my/his prayer, you enabled me/him to succeed and prosper. You placed a gold crown on my/his head.
4 Wacela kuwe ukusila, wamupha ubude bezinsuku kuze kube nini lanini.
I/He asked you to enable me/him to live [for a long time], and that is what you gave me/him, a very long [HYP] life.
5 Ngokunqoba akuphiwe nguwe lukhulu udumo lwakhe; usumgqizise inkazimulo lobukhosi.
(I am/He is) greatly honored because you have helped me/him to defeat my/his enemies; you have made me/him famous.
6 Ngempela usumuphe izibusiso ezingapheliyo wamenza wajabula ngentokozo yobukhona Bakho.
You will bless me/him forever, and you have caused me/him to be joyful in your presence.
7 Ngoba umbusi uyamthemba uThixo; ngothando loPhezukonke olungaphuthiyo akayikuzanyazanyiswa.
Yahweh, you are God Almighty, and (I trust/the king trusts) in you. Because you faithfully love me/him, disastrous things will never happen to me/him.
8 Isandla Sakho sizazibamba zonke izitha Zakho; isandla Sakho sokunene sizabaxhakalaza abakuzondayo.
You will enable me/him to capture [MTY] all my/his enemies and all those who hate me/him.
9 Kuzakuthi lapho uqhamuka wena uzabenza babe njengomlilo wemvutho enkulu. Ngenxa yentukuthelo yakhe uThixo uzabaginya, umlilo wakhe uzabaqothula.
When you appear, you will throw them into a fiery furnace. Because you are angry [with them], you will get rid of them; the fire will burn them up.
10 Wena uzabhubhisa izizukulwane zabo emhlabeni, inzalo yabo ebantwini.
You will remove their children from this earth; their descendants will all disappear.
11 Loba beceba okubi Ngawe besakha amaqhinga amabi, abangeke baphumelele;
They planned to harm you, but what they plan will never succeed.
12 ngoba uzabenza bafulathele babaleke nxa usubakhombela usulinwebile idandili.
You will cause them to run away [IDM] by shooting arrows at them.
13 Phakanyiswa, Oh Thixo ngamandla Akho; sizahlabela sibabaze amandla Akho.
Yahweh, show us that you are very strong! When you do that, while we sing we will praise you because you are very powerful.
