Amahubo 108
1 Inhliziyo yami iqinile, Nkulunkulu. Ngizahlabelela ngitshotshe, ngitsho udumo lwami!
O Elohim, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.
2 Vukani gubhu lwezintambo lechacho! Ngizavusa ukusa.
Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.
3 Ngizakudumisa, Nkosi, phakathi kwabantu, ngihlabele indumiso kuwe phakathi kwezizwe.
I will praise thee, O YHWH, among the people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.
4 Ngoba umusa wakho mkhulu phezu kwamazulu, leqiniso lakho lifika emayezini.
For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth reacheth unto the clouds.
5 Phakama, Nkulunkulu, ngaphezu kwamazulu, lobukhosi bakho phezu komhlaba wonke.
Be thou exalted, O Elohim, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth;
6 Ukuze abathandekayo bakho bakhululwe; sindisa ngesandla sakho sokunene, ungiphendule.
That thy beloved may be delivered: save with thy right hand, and answer me.
7 UNkulunkulu ukhulumile ebungcweleni bakhe. Ngizathaba, ngiyabe iShekema, ngilinganise isihotsha seSukothi.
Elohim hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
8 Ngeyami iGileyadi, ngowami uManase, loEfrayimi ungamandla ekhanda lami, uJuda ungumnikumthetho wami.
Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;
9 UMowabi ungumganu wami wokugezela; phezu kukaEdoma ngizaphosela inyathela lami; phezu kweFilisti ngizamemeza ngokunqoba.
Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.
10 Ngubani ozangisa emzini oqinileyo? Ngubani ozangiholela eEdoma?
Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
11 Kawusilahlanga yini, Nkulunkulu; kawuphumanga, Nkulunkulu, lamabutho ethu?
Wilt not thou, O Elohim, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O Elohim, go forth with our hosts?
12 Siphe usizo ekuhlupheni, ngoba luyize uncedo lomuntu.
Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.
13 KuNkulunkulu sizakwenza ngobuqhawe, ngoba yena uzanyathelela phansi izitha zethu.
Through Elohim we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
