Amahubo 76
1 Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Kusetshenziswa iziginci. Ihubo lika-Asafi. Ingoma. Uyaziwa uNkulunkulu koJuda ibizo lakhe likhulu ko-Israyeli.
In Judah is God known: his name is great in Israel.

3 Khonapho wayephula imitshoko ebenyezelayo, izihlangu lezinkemba, izikhali zempi.
There broke he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. (Selah)
4 Uyakhazimula ngokukhanya, ulobukhosi obudlula izintaba ezigcwele izinyamazana.
You are more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey.
5 Amadoda alezibindi alele ucaca aphangiwe, alele ubuthongo bawo bokucina; kakho loyedwa wamabutho lawo ongaphakamisa izandla zakhe.
The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep: and none of the men of might have found their hands.
6 Uthi ungakhwaza wena, Oh Nkulunkulu kaJakhobe, ibhiza lenqola kuhle kulale phansi kuthi zwi.
At your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.
7 Wena wedwa uyesatshwa. Ngubani ongema phambi kwakho nxa usuthukuthele?
You, even you, are to be feared: and who may stand in your sight when once you are angry?
8 Wathi usezulwini wehlisa ukwahlulela kwakho, ilizwe lesaba lathula,
You did cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still,
9 lapho wena, Oh Nkulunkulu, waphakama ukwahlulela, ukusindisa bonke abahluphekayo belizwe.
When God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. (Selah)
10 Ngempela ulaka lwakho ebantwini lukulethela indumiso, kuthi bonke abasilileyo elakeni lwakho bathotshiswe.
Surely the wrath of man shall praise you: the remainder of wrath shall you restrain.
11 Yenzani izifungo kuThixo uNkulunkulu wenu lizigcwalise; akuthi wonke amazwe abomakhelwana alethe izipho kuye Yedwa omele esatshwe.
Vow, and pay to the LORD your God: let all that be round about him bring presents to him that ought to be feared.
12 Uyephula ubuqholo bababusi; uyesatshwa ngamakhosi omhlaba.
He shall cut off the spirit of princes: he is terrible to the kings of the earth.
