Amahubo 9
1 Kumqondisi wokuhlabelela. Ihlatshelwa njengengoma ethi “Ukufa kweNdodana.” Ihubo likaDavida. Ngizakudumisa, Oh Thixo, ngenhliziyo yami yonke; ngizafakaza ngazozonke izimangaliso zakho.
To the chief Musician upon Muthlabben, A Psalm of David. 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)
