Amahubo 87

1 Elamadodana kaKhora. Ihubo. Ingoma. Usakhile isisekelo sakhe entabeni engcwele;

A Psalm [or] Song for the sons of Korah. His foundation [is] in the holy mountains.

2 uThixo uyawathanda amasango eZiyoni okudlula yonke imizi kaJakhobe.

The LORD loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

3 Izinto ezinhle okumangalisayo ziyatshiwo ngawe, we muzi kaNkulunkulu:

Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. (Selah)

4 “Ngizabalisa uRahabi leBhabhiloni phakathi kwalabo abathi bayangazi iFilistiya leThire, kanye leKhushi ngibe sengisithi, ‘Lo wazalelwa eZiyoni.’”

I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Cush; this [man] was born there.

5 Ngempela kuzathiwa ngeZiyoni, “Lo laloyana bazalelwa khona, kuthi yena oPhezukonke uzaliqinisa.”

And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the Highest himself shall establish her.

6 UThixo uzaloba eluhlwini lwamabizo abantu: “Lo wazalelwa eZiyoni.”

The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, [that] this [man] was born there. (Selah)

7 Bazakuthi betshaya amachacho bahlabele bathi, “Yonke imithombo yami ikuwe.”

As well the singers as the players on instruments [shall be there]: all my springs [are] in thee.
