Amahubo 9
1 Kumqondisi wokuhlabelela. Ihlatshelwa njengengoma ethi “Ukufa kweNdodana.” Ihubo likaDavida. Ngizakudumisa, Oh Thixo, ngenhliziyo yami yonke; ngizafakaza ngazozonke izimangaliso zakho.
I WILL praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works.
2 Ngizathokoza ngijabule ngawe, ngizahlabelela indumiso egameni lakho, wena oPhezukonke.
I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High.
3 Izitha zami ziyafulathela zibaleke; ziyakhubeka zitshabalale phambi kwakho.
When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence.
4 Ngoba ulisekele ilungelo lami; usuhlalile esihlalweni sakho sobukhosi wahlulela kakuhle.
For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the throne judging right.
5 Uzikhuzile izizwe, wababhubhisa ababi; wawesula amabizo abo kuze kube nini lanini.
Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.
6 Ukubhidlika okungapheliyo kusehlele isitha sami, wawasiphuna amadolobho aso; lokukhunjulwa kwaso sekuphele nya.
O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.
7 UThixo uyabusa kuze kube nininini; usesimisile isihlalo sakhe sobukhosi ukuze ahlulele.
But the Lord shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment.
8 Uzabusa umhlaba ngokulunga njalo uzakwahlulela abantu ngokufaneleyo.
And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.
9 UThixo uyisiphephelo sabancindezelweyo, uyinqaba ezikhathini zokuhlupheka.
The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.
10 Labo abalaziyo ibizo lakho bazathemba kuwe, ngoba wena, Thixo, kawubafulatheli abakudingayo.
And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
11 Hlabelelani indumiso kuThixo esebukhosini eZiyoni; fakazani phakathi kwezizwe ngalokho akwenzileyo.
Sing praises to the Lord, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his doings.
12 Ngoba yena ophindiselayo kulowo ochitha igazi uyakhumbula; akakudeli ukukhala kwabahlukuluzwayo.
When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of the humble.
13 Oh Thixo, ake ubone ukuthi izitha zami zingichukuluza njani! Yiba lesihawu ungenyule emasangweni okufa,
Have mercy upon me, O Lord; consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death:
14 ukuze ngifakaze indumiso yakho emasangweni eNdodakazi yaseZiyoni kuthi khonale ngithokoze ngokusindisa kwakho.
That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation.
15 Izizwe ziwele emgodini eziwumbileyo; inyawo zazo zibanjwe emambuleni eziwathiyileyo.
The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
16 UThixo waziwa ngokwahlulela kwakhe okulungileyo; ababi babanjwa yizenzo zezandla zabo.
The Lord is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. (Higgaion, Selah)
The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. (Sheol h7585)
18 Kodwa abaswelayo kabayikukhohlakala kokuphela, njalo lethemba labahlukuluzwayo kaliyikutshabalala.
For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation 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 prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy sight.
20 Batshayise ngovalo, Oh Thixo; akuthi izizwe zikwazi ukuthi zingabantu nje.
Put them in fear, O Lord: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. (Selah)
