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 hidden things of the Son. A psalm for David. I will give praise to thee, O Lord, with my whole heart: I will relate all thy wonders.
2 Ngizathokoza ngijabule ngawe, ngizahlabelela indumiso egameni lakho, wena oPhezukonke.
I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing to thy name, O thou most high.
3 Izitha zami ziyafulathela zibaleke; ziyakhubeka zitshabalale phambi kwakho.
When my enemy shall be turned back: they shall be weakened and perish before thy face.
4 Ngoba ulisekele ilungelo lami; usuhlalile esihlalweni sakho sobukhosi wahlulela kakuhle.
For thou hast maintained my judgment and my cause: thou hast sat on the throne, who judgest justice.
5 Uzikhuzile izizwe, wababhubhisa ababi; wawesula amabizo abo kuze kube nini lanini.
Thou hast rebuked the Gentiles, and the wicked one hath perished: thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.
6 Ukubhidlika okungapheliyo kusehlele isitha sami, wawasiphuna amadolobho aso; lokukhunjulwa kwaso sekuphele nya.
The swords of the enemy have failed unto the end: and their cities thou hast destroyed. Their memory hath perished with a noise.
7 UThixo uyabusa kuze kube nininini; usesimisile isihlalo sakhe sobukhosi ukuze ahlulele.
But the Lord remaineth for ever. He hath prepared his throne in judgment:
8 Uzabusa umhlaba ngokulunga njalo uzakwahlulela abantu ngokufaneleyo.
And he shall judge the world in equity, he shall judge the people in justice.
9 UThixo uyisiphephelo sabancindezelweyo, uyinqaba ezikhathini zokuhlupheka.
And the Lord is become a refuge for the poor: a helper in due time in tribulation.
10 Labo abalaziyo ibizo lakho bazathemba kuwe, ngoba wena, Thixo, kawubafulatheli abakudingayo.
And let them trust in thee who know thy name: for thou hast not forsaken them that seek thee, O Lord.
11 Hlabelelani indumiso kuThixo esebukhosini eZiyoni; fakazani phakathi kwezizwe ngalokho akwenzileyo.
Sing ye to the Lord, who dwelleth in Sion: declare his ways among the Gentiles:
12 Ngoba yena ophindiselayo kulowo ochitha igazi uyakhumbula; akakudeli ukukhala kwabahlukuluzwayo.
For requiring their blood he hath remembered the: he hath 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, O Lord: see my humiliation which I suffer from my enemies.
14 ukuze ngifakaze indumiso yakho emasangweni eNdodakazi yaseZiyoni kuthi khonale ngithokoze ngokusindisa kwakho.
Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death, that I may declare all thy praises in the gates of the daughter of Sion.
15 Izizwe ziwele emgodini eziwumbileyo; inyawo zazo zibanjwe emambuleni eziwathiyileyo.
I will rejoice in thy salvation: the Gentiles have stuck fast in the destruction which they have prepared. Their foot hath been taken in the very snare which they hid.
16 UThixo waziwa ngokwahlulela kwakhe okulungileyo; ababi babanjwa yizenzo zezandla zabo.
The Lord shall be known when he executeth judgments: the sinner hath been caught in the works of his own hands.
The wicked shall be turned into hell, all the nations that forget God. (Sheol h7585)
18 Kodwa abaswelayo kabayikukhohlakala kokuphela, njalo lethemba labahlukuluzwayo kaliyikutshabalala.
For the poor man shall not be forgotten to the end: the patience of the poor shall not perish for ever.
19 Vuka Thixo, ungayekeli umuntu anqobe; akuthi izizwe zahlulelwe phambi kwakho.
Arise, O Lord, let not man be strengthened: let the Gentiles be judged in thy sight.
20 Batshayise ngovalo, Oh Thixo; akuthi izizwe zikwazi ukuthi zingabantu nje.
Appoint, O Lord, a lawgiver over them: that the Gentiles may know themselves to be but men.
