Amahubo 47

1 Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. ElamaDodana kaKhora. Ihubo. Qakezani izandla zenu, zizwe zonke; hlokomani kuNkulunkulu ngomsindo wokuthokoza.

Oh clap your hands, all you nations. Shout to God with the voice of triumph!

2 Wesabeka kangakanani uThixo oPhezukonke, iNkosi enkulu kuwo wonke umhlaba!

For Adonai Most High is awesome. He is a great King over all the earth.

3 Wazehlula zonke izizwe zaba ngaphansi kwethu, abantu babangaphansi kwezinyawo zethu.

He subdues nations under us, and peoples under our feet.

4 Wasikhethela ilifa lethu, igugu likaJakhobe amthandayo.

He chooses our inheritance for us, the glory of Jacob [Supplanter] whom he 'ahav ·affectionately loved·. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.

5 UNkulunkulu usekhuphukile phakathi komsindo wentokozo, uThixo uphakathi kokukhala kwamacilongo.

God has gone up with a shout, Adonai with the sound of a shofar ·ram horn·.

6 Hlabelelani indumiso kuNkulunkulu, hlabelelani indumiso; hlabelelani indumiso eNkosini yethu, hlabelelani indumiso.

Sing zahmar ·musical praise· to God, sing zahmar ·musical praise·. Sing zahmar ·musical praise· to our King, sing zahmar ·musical praise·.

7 Ngoba uNkulunkulu uyiNkosi yomhlaba wonke; hlabelelani kuye ihubo lokudumisa.

For God is the King of all the earth. Sing zahmar ·musical praise· with understanding.

8 UNkulunkulu uyazibusa izizwe; uNkulunkulu uhlezi esihlalweni sakhe sobukhosi esingcwele.

God reigns over the nations. God sits on his holy throne.

9 Izikhulu zezizwe ziyaqoqana njengabantu bakaNkulunkulu ka-Abhrahama, ngoba amakhosi omhlaba angakaNkulunkulu; uphakeme kakhulukazi.

The princes of the peoples are gathered together, the people of the God of Abraham [Father of a multitude]. For the shields of the earth belong to God. He is greatly exalted!
