Amahubo 98

1 Ihubo Hlabelelani uThixo ingoma entsha, ngoba wenzile izinto ezimangalisayo; isandla sakhe sokunene lengalo yakhe engcwele sekumenzele insindiso.

A Psalm. Sing to the LORD a new song, for he has done marvellous things! His right hand and his holy arm have worked salvation for him.

2 UThixo useyenze yaziwa insindiso yakhe waveza ukulunga kwakhe ezizweni.

The LORD has made known his salvation. He has openly shown his righteousness in the sight of the nations.

3 Uselukhumbule uthando lwakhe lokuthembeka Kwakhe endlini ka-Israyeli; yonke imikhawulo yomhlaba iyibonile insindiso kaNkulunkulu wethu.

He has remembered his loving kindness and his faithfulness towards the house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

4 Hlokomani ngentokozo kuThixo, mhlaba wonke, hlabelani ingoma ngokujabula okukhulu, litshaya amachacho;

Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth! Burst out and sing for joy, yes, sing praises!

5 yenzani umsindo kuThixo ngomhubhe, ngomhubhe langomsindo wokuhlabela,

Sing praises to the LORD with the harp, with the harp and the voice of melody.

6 ngamacilongo langomsindo wophondo lwenqama hlokomani ngentokozo phambi kukaThixo, iNkosi.

With trumpets and sound of the ram’s horn, make a joyful noise before the King, the LORD.

7 Akuthi ulwandle luhlokome, lakho konke okuphakathi kwalo, umhlaba labo bonke abahlala kuwo.

Let the sea roar with its fullness; the world, and those who dwell therein.

8 Akuthi imifula iqakeze izandla zayo, akuthi izintaba zihlabele kanyekanye ngentokozo;

Let the rivers clap their hands. Let the mountains sing for joy together.

9 kazihlabele phambi kukaThixo, ngoba Uyeza ukuzakwahlulela umhlaba. Uzakwahlulela umhlaba ngokulunga labantu bonke ngokufaneleyo.

Let them sing before the LORD, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with equity.
