Amahubo 149

1 Dumisani iNkosi! HIabelelani iNkosi ingoma entsha, indumiso yayo ebandleni labangcwele.

Praise ye the Lord. Sing ye vnto the Lord a newe song: let his prayse be heard in the Congregation of Saints.

2 UIsrayeli kathokoze ngoMenzi wakhe, abantwana beZiyoni kabathabe eNkosini yabo.

Let Israel reioyce in him that made him, and let ye children of Zion reioyce in their King.

3 Kabadumise ibizo layo ngokusina, kabayihlabelele indumiso ngesigujana lechacho.

Let them prayse his Name with the flute: let them sing prayses vnto him with the timbrell and harpe.

4 Ngoba iNkosi iyathokoza ngabantu bayo; izacecisa abamnene ngosindiso.

For the Lord hath pleasure in his people: he will make the meeke glorious by deliuerance.

5 Abangcwele kabathokoze ngendumiso, kabahlabelele ngenjabulo emibhedeni yabo.

Let ye Saints be ioyfull with glorie: let them sing loud vpon their beddes.

6 Indumiso zikaNkulunkulu zisemphinjeni wabo, lenkemba esika nhlangothi mbili esandleni sabo,

Let the high Actes of God bee in their mouth, and a two edged sword in their hands,

7 ukuze benze impindiselo phezu kwabahedeni, izijeziso phezu kwezizwe,

To execute vengeance vpon the heathen, and corrections among the people:

8 ukuze babophe amakhosi azo ngamaketane, lezikhulu zazo ngezibopho zensimbi,

To binde their Kings in chaines, and their nobles with fetters of yron,

9 ukuze benze isahlulelo esibhaliweyo phezu kwazo. Loludumo abangcwele bayo bonke balalo. Dumisani iNkosi!

That they may execute vpon them the iudgement that is written: this honour shall be to all his Saintes. Prayse ye the Lord.
