Amahubo 99

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

The LORD reigns. Let the peoples tremble. He sits enthroned among the cherubim; the earth shakes.

2 Mkhulu uThixo eZiyoni; uphakeme ngaphezu kwezizwe zonke.

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

Let them praise your great and awesome name. He is Holy.

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

Moses and Aaron were among his priests, Samuel among those who call on his name; they called on the LORD, and he answered them.

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

He spoke to them in the pillar of cloud. They kept his testimonies, the statute that he gave them.

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

You answered them, LORD our God. You are a God who forgave them, although you took vengeance for their doings.
