Amahubo 24

1 Ihubo likaDavida. Umhlaba ngokaThixo, lakho konke okukuwo, ilizwe labo bonke abahlala kulo;

Of David. A Psalm. The earth is Jehovah's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

2 ngoba wenza isisekelo sawo phezu kolwandle wawumisa phezu kwamanzi.

For it was he that founded it upon seas, and established it upon floods.

3 Ngubani ongaqansa intaba kaThixo na? Ngubani ongema endaweni yakhe engcwele na?

Who shall ascend into the mount of Jehovah? and who shall stand in his holy place?

4 Ngulowo olezandla ezihlanzekileyo lenhliziyo emhlophe, ongaphakamiseli umphefumulo wakhe kunkulunkulu wamanga loba afunge ngenkohliso.

He that hath blameless hands and a pure heart; who lifteth not up his soul unto vanity, nor sweareth deceitfully:

5 Uzakwamukela isibusiso kuThixo lokukhululwa kuNkulunkulu uMsindisi wakhe.

He shall receive blessing from Jehovah, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

6 Sinjalo isizukulwane salabo abamdingayo, abadinga ubuso Bakho, Oh Nkulunkulu kaJakhobe.

This is the generation of them that seek unto him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. (Selah)

7 Phakamisani amakhanda enu, lina masango; phakamani, lina minyango yekadeni, ukuba iNkosi yenkazimulo ingene.

Lift up your heads, ye gates, and be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors, and the King of glory shall come in.

8 Ngubani iNkosi yenkazimulo? NguThixo oqinileyo olamandla, uThixo olamandla empini.

Who is this King of glory? Jehovah strong and mighty, Jehovah mighty in battle.

9 Phakamisani amakhanda enu, lina masango; aphakamiseni, lina minyango yekadeni, ukuba iNkosi yenkazimulo ingene.

Lift up your heads, ye gates; yea, lift up, ye everlasting doors, and the King of glory shall come in.

10 Ungubani na lowo Thixo wenkazimulo? NguThixo uSomandla iNkosi yenkazimulo.

Who is he, this King of glory? Jehovah of hosts, he is the King of glory. (Selah)
