Amahubo 108

1 Inhliziyo yami iqinile, Nkulunkulu. Ngizahlabelela ngitshotshe, ngitsho udumo lwami!

A Song [or] Psalm of David. O God, 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 LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises to 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] to the clouds.

5 Phakama, Nkulunkulu, ngaphezu kwamazulu, lobukhosi bakho phezu komhlaba wonke.

Be thou exalted, O God, 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.

God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and measure 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 my 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 God, [who] hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our armies?

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 God we shall do valiantly: for he will tread down our enemies.
