< Amahubo 46 >
1 Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. ElamaDodana kaKhora. Ingoma ngendlela ye-alamothi. UNkulunkulu uyisiphephelo sethu lamandla ethu, usizo oluhlezi lukhona nxa kulohlupho.
To the chief music-maker. Of the sons of Korah; put to Alamoth. A Song. God is our harbour and our strength, a very present help in trouble.
2 Ngakho kangiyikwesaba, umhlaba ungaze ubhidlike lezintaba ziwele ekujuleni kolwandle,
For this cause we will have no fear, even though the earth is changed, and though the mountains are moved in the heart of the sea;
3 loba amanzi alo ehlokoma agubhazele izintaba zivevezele ngokuqubuka kwalo.
Though its waters are sounding and troubled, and though the mountains are shaking with their violent motion. (Selah)
4 Kukhona umfula ozifudlana zawo zithokozisa idolobho likaNkulunkulu, indawo engcwele okuhlala kuyo oPhezukonke.
There is a river whose streams make glad the resting-place of God, the holy place of the tents of the Most High.
5 UNkulunkulu ungaphakathi kwalo, kaliyikuwiswa; uNkulunkulu uzalisiza ngovivi lokusa.
God has taken his place in her; she will not be moved: he will come to her help at the dawn of morning.
6 Izizwe ziyahlokoma, imibuso iyachitheka; uphakamisa ilizwi lakhe umhlaba uncibilike.
The nations were angry, the kingdoms were moved; at the sound of his voice the earth became like wax.
7 UThixo uSomandla ulathi; uNkulunkulu kaJakhobe uyinqaba yethu.
The Lord of armies is with us; the God of Jacob is our high tower. (Selah)
8 Wozani libone imisebenzi kaThixo, incithakalo aseyenzile emhlabeni.
Come, see the works of the Lord, the destruction which he has made in the earth.
9 Uyathulisa izimpi kuze kube semikhawulweni yomhlaba; uyalephula idandili avadlaze lomkhonto, utshisa izinqola ngomlilo.
He puts an end to wars over all the earth; by him the bow is broken, and the spear cut in two, and the carriage burned in the fire.
10 “Thulani, lazi ukuba mina nginguNkulunkulu; ngizaphakanyiswa phakathi kwezizwe; ngizaphakanyiswa emhlabeni.”
Be at peace in the knowledge that I am God: I will be lifted up among the nations, I will be honoured through all the earth.
11 UThixo uSomandla ulathi, uNkulunkulu kaJakhobe uyinqaba yethu.
The Lord of armies is with us; the God of Jacob is our high tower. (Selah)
