Amahubo 97
1 UThixo uyabusa, umhlaba kawuthokoze; akuthi amakhumbi akude ajabule.
Yahweh, hath become king, Let the earth exult, Let the multitude of coastlands rejoice.
2 Amayezi lomnyama omkhulu kumsibekele; ukulunga lokwahlulela kuhle kuyisisekelo sesihlalo Sakhe sobukhosi.
Clouds and thick darkness, are round about him, Righteousness and justice, are the establishing of his throne.
3 Umlilo uhamba phambi Kwakhe uzihangule izitha zakhe inxa zonke.
Fire, before him, proceedeth, That it may consume, round about, his adversaries.
4 Umbane wakhe ukhanyisa umhlaba; umhlaba ukubone lokho uthuthumele.
His lightnings, have illumined, the world, The earth, hath seen, and hath trembled;
5 Izintaba zincibilika njengengcino phambi kukaThixo, phambi kweNkosi yomhlaba wonke.
The mountains, like wax, have melted, At the presence of Yahweh, At the presence, of the Lord of all the earth.
6 Amazulu amemezela ukulunga kwayo, labantu bonke bayayibona inkazimulo yayo.
The heavens, have declared, his righteousness, —And all the peoples, have seen, his glory.
7 Bonke abakhonza izifanekiso bathelwa ihlazo, labo abazikhukhumeza ngezithombe mkhonzeni, lonke lina bonkulunkulu!
Let all who serve an image, be ashamed, They who boast themselves in things of nought, Bow down unto him, all ye gods.
8 IZiyoni iyezwa ithokoze lemizi yakoJuda iyajabula ngenxa yokwahlulela Kwakho, Oh Thixo.
Zion, hath heard and rejoiced, And the daughters of Judah, have exulted, Because of thy righteous decisions, O Yahweh:
9 Ngoba wena, Oh Thixo ungoPhezukonke kuwo wonke umhlaba; uphakeme ngaphezulu kakhulu kwabonkulunkulu bonke.
For, thou, Yahweh, art Most High over all the earth, Greatly hast thou exalted thyself above all gods.
10 Akuthi bonke abamthandayo, uThixo, bazonde okubi, ngoba uyazilinda impilo zabathembekileyo bakhe abakhulule esandleni sababi.
Ye lovers of Yahweh! be haters of wrong, —He preserveth the lives of his men of lovingkindness, From the hand of the lawless, will he rescue them.
11 Ukukhanya kuyehliselwa kwabalungileyo lentokozo kwabaqotho enhliziyweni.
Light, is sown for the righteous one, And, for the upright in heart, rejoicing:
12 Thokozani kuThixo lina elilungileyo, lidumise ibizo lakhe elingcwele.
Rejoice, ye righteous, in Yahweh, And give ye thanks, at the mention of his holiness.
