Amahubo 97
1 UThixo uyabusa, umhlaba kawuthokoze; akuthi amakhumbi akude ajabule.
For the same David, when his land was restored again to him. The Lord hath reigned, let the earth rejoice: let many islands be glad.
2 Amayezi lomnyama omkhulu kumsibekele; ukulunga lokwahlulela kuhle kuyisisekelo sesihlalo Sakhe sobukhosi.
Clouds and darkness are round about him: justice and judgment are the establishment of his throne.
3 Umlilo uhamba phambi Kwakhe uzihangule izitha zakhe inxa zonke.
A fire shall go before him, and shall burn his enemies round about.
4 Umbane wakhe ukhanyisa umhlaba; umhlaba ukubone lokho uthuthumele.
His lightnings have shone forth to the world: the earth saw and trembled.
5 Izintaba zincibilika njengengcino phambi kukaThixo, phambi kweNkosi yomhlaba wonke.
The mountains melted like wax, at the presence of the Lord: at the presence of the Lord of all the earth.
6 Amazulu amemezela ukulunga kwayo, labantu bonke bayayibona inkazimulo yayo.
The heavens declared his justice: and all people saw his glory.
7 Bonke abakhonza izifanekiso bathelwa ihlazo, labo abazikhukhumeza ngezithombe mkhonzeni, lonke lina bonkulunkulu!
Let them be all confounded that adore graven things, and that glory in their idols. Adore him, all you his angels:
8 IZiyoni iyezwa ithokoze lemizi yakoJuda iyajabula ngenxa yokwahlulela Kwakho, Oh Thixo.
Sion heard, and was glad. And the daughters of Juda rejoiced, because of thy judgments, O Lord.
9 Ngoba wena, Oh Thixo ungoPhezukonke kuwo wonke umhlaba; uphakeme ngaphezulu kakhulu kwabonkulunkulu bonke.
For thou art the most high Lord over all the earth: thou art exalted exceedingly above all gods.
10 Akuthi bonke abamthandayo, uThixo, bazonde okubi, ngoba uyazilinda impilo zabathembekileyo bakhe abakhulule esandleni sababi.
You that love the Lord, hate evil: the Lord preserveth the souls of his saints, he will deliver them out of the hand of the sinner.
11 Ukukhanya kuyehliselwa kwabalungileyo lentokozo kwabaqotho enhliziyweni.
Light is risen to the just, and joy to the right of heart.
12 Thokozani kuThixo lina elilungileyo, lidumise ibizo lakhe elingcwele.
Rejoice, ye just, in the Lord: and give praise to the remembrance of his holiness.
