Amahubo 149

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

Hallelujah. Sing unto the LORD a new song, and His praise in the assembly of the saints.

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

Let Israel rejoice in his Maker; let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

3 Kabadumise ibizo layo ngokusina, kabayihlabelele indumiso ngesigujana lechacho.

Let them praise His name in the dance; let them sing praises unto Him with the timbrel and harp.

4 Ngoba iNkosi iyathokoza ngabantu bayo; izacecisa abamnene ngosindiso.

For the LORD taketh pleasure in His people; He adorneth the humble with salvation.

5 Abangcwele kabathokoze ngendumiso, kabahlabelele ngenjabulo emibhedeni yabo.

Let the saints exult in glory; let them sing for joy upon their beds.

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

Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand;

7 ukuze benze impindiselo phezu kwabahedeni, izijeziso phezu kwezizwe,

To execute vengeance upon the nations, and chastisements upon the peoples;

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

To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;

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

To execute upon them the judgment written; He is the glory of all His saints. Hallelujah.
