Amahubo 99

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

The LORD reigneth, let the nations tremble! He sitteth between the cherubs, let the earth quake!

2 Mkhulu uThixo eZiyoni; uphakeme ngaphezu kwezizwe zonke.

Great is the LORD upon Zion; He is exalted over all the nations.

3 Kabadumise ibizo Lakho elikhulu elesabekayo Yena ungcwele.

Let men praise thy great and terrible name! It is holy.

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

Let them declare the glory of the King who loveth justice! Thou hast established equity; Thou dost execute justice in Jacob!

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

Exalt ye Jehovah, our God, And bow yourselves down at his footstool! He is holy.

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

Moses and Aaron, with his priests, And Samuel, who called upon his name, —They called upon the LORD, and he answered them.

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

He spake to them in the cloudy pillar; They kept his commandments, And the ordinances which he gave them.

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

Thou, O LORD, our God! didst answer them; Thou wast to them a forgiving God, Though thou didst punish their transgressions!

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

Exalt the LORD, our God. And worship at his holy mountain! For the LORD, our God, is holy.
