1 Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Kusetshenziswa iziginci. Ihubo lika-Asafi. Ingoma. Uyaziwa uNkulunkulu koJuda ibizo lakhe likhulu ko-Israyeli.
For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph. A song. God is known in Judah; His name is great in Israel.
2 Ithente lakhe liseSalema, indawo yakhe yokuhlala iseZiyoni.
His tent is in Salem, His dwelling place in Zion.
3 Khonapho wayephula imitshoko ebenyezelayo, izihlangu lezinkemba, izikhali zempi.
There He shattered the flaming arrows, the shield and sword and weapons of war.
4 Uyakhazimula ngokukhanya, ulobukhosi obudlula izintaba ezigcwele izinyamazana.
You are resplendent with light, more majestic than mountains filled with game.
5 Amadoda alezibindi alele ucaca aphangiwe, alele ubuthongo bawo bokucina; kakho loyedwa wamabutho lawo ongaphakamisa izandla zakhe.
The valiant lie plundered; they sleep their last sleep. No men of might could lift a hand.
6 Uthi ungakhwaza wena, Oh Nkulunkulu kaJakhobe, ibhiza lenqola kuhle kulale phansi kuthi zwi.
At Your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both horse and rider lie stunned.
7 Wena wedwa uyesatshwa. Ngubani ongema phambi kwakho nxa usuthukuthele?
You alone are to be feared. When You are angry, who can stand before You?
8 Wathi usezulwini wehlisa ukwahlulela kwakho, ilizwe lesaba lathula,
From heaven You pronounced judgment, and the earth feared and was still
9 lapho wena, Oh Nkulunkulu, waphakama ukwahlulela, ukusindisa bonke abahluphekayo belizwe.
when God rose up to judge, to save all the lowly of the earth.
10 Ngempela ulaka lwakho ebantwini lukulethela indumiso, kuthi bonke abasilileyo elakeni lwakho bathotshiswe.
Even the wrath of man shall praise You; with the survivors of wrath You will clothe Yourself.
11 Yenzani izifungo kuThixo uNkulunkulu wenu lizigcwalise; akuthi wonke amazwe abomakhelwana alethe izipho kuye Yedwa omele esatshwe.
Make and fulfill your vows to the LORD your God; let all the neighboring lands bring tribute to Him who is to be feared.
12 Uyephula ubuqholo bababusi; uyesatshwa ngamakhosi omhlaba.
He breaks the spirits of princes; He is feared by the kings of the earth.
