Amahubo 9
1 Kumqondisi wokuhlabelela. Ihlatshelwa njengengoma ethi “Ukufa kweNdodana.” Ihubo likaDavida. Ngizakudumisa, Oh Thixo, ngenhliziyo yami yonke; ngizafakaza ngazozonke izimangaliso zakho.
Unto the end. For the secrets of the Son. A Psalm of David. I will confess to you, Lord, with my whole heart. I will recount all your wonders.
2 Ngizathokoza ngijabule ngawe, ngizahlabelela indumiso egameni lakho, wena oPhezukonke.
I will rejoice and exult in you. I will sing a psalm to your name, O Most High.
3 Izitha zami ziyafulathela zibaleke; ziyakhubeka zitshabalale phambi kwakho.
For my enemy will be turned back. They will be weakened and perish before your face.
4 Ngoba ulisekele ilungelo lami; usuhlalile esihlalweni sakho sobukhosi wahlulela kakuhle.
For you have accomplished my judgment and my cause. You have sat upon the throne that judges justice.
5 Uzikhuzile izizwe, wababhubhisa ababi; wawesula amabizo abo kuze kube nini lanini.
You have rebuked the Gentiles, and the impious one has perished. You have deleted their name in eternity and for all generations.
6 Ukubhidlika okungapheliyo kusehlele isitha sami, wawasiphuna amadolobho aso; lokukhunjulwa kwaso sekuphele nya.
The spears of the enemy have failed in the end, and their cities, you have destroyed. Their memory has perished with a loud noise.
7 UThixo uyabusa kuze kube nininini; usesimisile isihlalo sakhe sobukhosi ukuze ahlulele.
But the Lord remains in eternity. He has prepared his throne in judgment.
8 Uzabusa umhlaba ngokulunga njalo uzakwahlulela abantu ngokufaneleyo.
And he will judge the whole world in equity. He will judge the people in justice.
9 UThixo uyisiphephelo sabancindezelweyo, uyinqaba ezikhathini zokuhlupheka.
And the Lord has become a refuge for the poor, a helper in opportunity, in tribulation.
10 Labo abalaziyo ibizo lakho bazathemba kuwe, ngoba wena, Thixo, kawubafulatheli abakudingayo.
And may they hope in you, who know your name. For you have not abandoned those seeking you, Lord.
11 Hlabelelani indumiso kuThixo esebukhosini eZiyoni; fakazani phakathi kwezizwe ngalokho akwenzileyo.
Sing a psalm to the Lord, who dwells in Zion. Announce his study among the Gentiles.
12 Ngoba yena ophindiselayo kulowo ochitha igazi uyakhumbula; akakudeli ukukhala kwabahlukuluzwayo.
Because of those who yearned for their blood, he has remembered them. He has not forgotten the cry of the poor.
13 Oh Thixo, ake ubone ukuthi izitha zami zingichukuluza njani! Yiba lesihawu ungenyule emasangweni okufa,
Have mercy on me, Lord. See my humiliation from my enemies.
14 ukuze ngifakaze indumiso yakho emasangweni eNdodakazi yaseZiyoni kuthi khonale ngithokoze ngokusindisa kwakho.
You lift me up from the gates of death, so that I may announce all your praises at the gates of the daughter of Zion.
15 Izizwe ziwele emgodini eziwumbileyo; inyawo zazo zibanjwe emambuleni eziwathiyileyo.
I will exult in your salvation. The Gentiles have become trapped in the ruin that they made. Their foot has been caught in the same snare that they themselves had hidden.
16 UThixo waziwa ngokwahlulela kwakhe okulungileyo; ababi babanjwa yizenzo zezandla zabo.
The Lord will be recognized when making judgments. The sinner has been caught in the works of his own hands. (Pause)
The sinners will be turned into Hell: all the Gentiles who have forgotten God. (Sheol h7585)
18 Kodwa abaswelayo kabayikukhohlakala kokuphela, njalo lethemba labahlukuluzwayo kaliyikutshabalala.
For the poor will not be forgotten in the end. The patience of the poor will not perish in the end.
19 Vuka Thixo, ungayekeli umuntu anqobe; akuthi izizwe zahlulelwe phambi kwakho.
Rise up, Lord: do not let man be strengthened. Let the Gentiles be judged in your sight.
20 Batshayise ngovalo, Oh Thixo; akuthi izizwe zikwazi ukuthi zingabantu nje.
O Lord, establish a lawgiver over them, so that the Gentiles may know that they are only men. (Pause)
