Amahubo 99

1 UThixo uyabusa, izizwe kazithuthumele; uhlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi phakathi kwamakherubhi, umhlaba kawuzamazame.

The LORD reigneth; let the peoples tremble; He is enthroned upon the cherubim; let the earth quake.

2 Mkhulu uThixo eZiyoni; uphakeme ngaphezu kwezizwe zonke.

The LORD is great in Zion; and He is high above all the peoples.

3 Kabadumise ibizo Lakho elikhulu elesabekayo Yena ungcwele.

Let them praise Thy name as great and awful; Holy is He.

4 INkosi ilamandla, ithanda ukwahlulela okuhle umisile ukwaba ngemfanelo; kuJakhobe usuwenzile okuqondileyo lokulungileyo.

The strength also of the king who loveth justice — Thou hast established equity, Thou hast executed justice and righteousness in Jacob.

5 Dumisani uThixo uNkulunkulu wethu likhonze phansi kwesihlalo sakhe; yena ungcwele.

Exalt ye the LORD our God, and prostrate yourselves at His footstool; Holy is He.

6 UMosi lo-Aroni babephakathi kwabaphristi bakhe, uSamuyeli wayekulabo ababelibiza ibizo lakhe; bambiza uThixo Yena wabaphendula.

Moses and Aaron among His priests, and Samuel among them that call upon His name, did call upon the LORD, and He answered them.

7 Wabakhulumisa ephakathi kwensika yeyezi; bagcina izimiso zakhe lezimemezelo azitshoyo kubo.

He spoke unto them in the pillar of cloud; they kept His testimonies, and the statute that He gave them.

8 Oh Thixo Nkulunkulu wethu, wabaphendula; ku-Israyeli wawunguNkulunkulu othethelelayo, lanxa wabajezisa ngenxa yezenzo zabo ezimbi.

O LORD our God, Thou didst answer them; a forgiving God wast Thou unto them, though Thou tookest vengeance of their misdeeds.

9 Phakamisani uThixo uNkulunkulu wethu, limkhonze entabeni yakhe engcwele, ngoba uThixo uNkulunkulu wethu ungcwele.

Exalt ye the LORD our God, and worship at His holy hill; for the LORD our God is holy.
