Amahubo 21

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

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. The king rejoices in your strength, LORD! How greatly he rejoices in your salvation!

2 Usumphile isiloyiso senhliziyo yakhe njalo kawumncitshanga isicelo sezindebe zakhe.

You have given him his heart’s desire, and have not withheld the request of his lips. (Selah)

3 Wamemukela ngezibusiso ezinhle wamethesa umqhele wegolide elicengekileyo ekhanda lakhe.

For you meet him with the blessings of goodness. You set a crown of fine gold on his head.

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

He asked life of you and you gave it to him, even length of days forever and ever.

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

His glory is great in your salvation. You lay honour and majesty on him.

6 Ngempela usumuphe izibusiso ezingapheliyo wamenza wajabula ngentokozo yobukhona Bakho.

For you make him most blessed forever. You make him glad with joy in your presence.

7 Ngoba umbusi uyamthemba uThixo; ngothando loPhezukonke olungaphuthiyo akayikuzanyazanyiswa.

For the king trusts in the LORD. Through the loving kindness of the Most High, he shall not be moved.

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

Your hand will find out all of your enemies. Your right hand will find out those who hate you.

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

You will make them as a fiery furnace in the time of your anger. The LORD will swallow them up in his wrath. The fire shall devour them.

10 Wena uzabhubhisa izizukulwane zabo emhlabeni, inzalo yabo ebantwini.

You will destroy their descendants from the earth, their posterity from amongst the children of men.

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

For they intended evil against you. They plotted evil against you which cannot succeed.

12 ngoba uzabenza bafulathele babaleke nxa usubakhombela usulinwebile idandili.

For you will make them turn their back, when you aim drawn bows at their face.

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

Be exalted, LORD, in your strength, so we will sing and praise your power.
