Amahubo 21
1 Jehova, inkosi izajabula emandleni akho, lesindisweni lwakho izathaba kangakanani!
To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. The king will be glad in your strength, O Lord; how great will be his delight in your salvation!
2 Uyinikile isifiso senhliziyo yayo, kawuyincitshanga isicelo sendebe zayo. (Sela)
You have given him his heart's desire, and have not kept back the request of his lips. (Selah)
3 Ngoba uyihlangabeze ngezibusiso zokuhle, wayethwesa umqhele wegolide elihle ekhanda layo.
For you go before him with the blessings of good things: you put a crown of fair gold on his head.
4 Yacela impilo kuwe, wayinika yona, ubude bezinsuku kuze kube nini lanini.
He made request to you for life, and you gave it to him, long life for ever and ever.
5 Lukhulu udumo lwayo ekusindiseni kwakho, inkazimulo lobukhosi wakubeka phezu kwayo.
His glory is great in your salvation: honour and authority have you put on him.
6 Ngoba uyenze yabusiseka kakhulu kuze kube nininini, uyayithokozisa ngenjabulo ebukhoneni bakho.
For you have made him a blessing for ever: you have given him joy in the light of your face.
7 Ngoba inkosi ithembela kuJehova, langomusa woPhezukonke kayiyikunyikinywa.
For the king has faith in the Lord, and through the mercy of the Most High he will not be moved.
8 Isandla sakho sizazithola zonke izitha zakho, lesandla sakho sokunene sizabathola labo abakuzondayo.
Your hand will make a search for all your haters; your right hand will be hard on all those who are against you.
9 Uzabenza babe njengesithando somlilo esikhathini solaka lwakho. INkosi izabaginya ekuthukutheleni kwayo, lomlilo uzabaqothula.
You will make them like a flaming oven before you; the Lord in his wrath will put an end to them, and they will be burned up in the fire.
10 Uzachitha isithelo sabo emhlabeni, lenzalo yabo phakathi kwabantwana babantu.
Their fruit will be cut off from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.
11 Ngoba bezimisela okubi bemelene lawe, beceba ugobe, bazakwehluleka.
For their thoughts were bitter against you: they had an evil design in their minds, which they were not able to put into effect.
12 Ngoba uzabafulathelisa, ngezintambo zedandili uzalungisa imitshoko imelane lobuso babo.
Their backs will be turned when you make ready the cords of your bow against their faces.
13 Phakama, Nkosi, ngamandla akho! Sizahlabela sidumise amandla akho.
Be lifted up, O Lord, in your strength; so will we make songs in praise of your power.
