Amahubo 21

1 Jehova, inkosi izajabula emandleni akho, lesindisweni lwakho izathaba kangakanani!

The king shall joy in your strength, O LORD; and in your salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!

2 Uyinikile isifiso senhliziyo yayo, kawuyincitshanga isicelo sendebe zayo. (Sela)

You have given him his heart’s desire, and have not withheld the request of his lips. (Selah)

3 Ngoba uyihlangabeze ngezibusiso zokuhle, wayethwesa umqhele wegolide elihle ekhanda layo.

For you prevent him with the blessings of goodness: you set a crown of pure gold on his head.

4 Yacela impilo kuwe, wayinika yona, ubude bezinsuku kuze kube nini lanini.

He asked life of you, and you gave it him, even length of days for ever and ever.

5 Lukhulu udumo lwayo ekusindiseni kwakho, inkazimulo lobukhosi wakubeka phezu kwayo.

His glory is great in your salvation: honor and majesty have you laid on him.

6 Ngoba uyenze yabusiseka kakhulu kuze kube nininini, uyayithokozisa ngenjabulo ebukhoneni bakho.

For you have made him most blessed for ever: you have made him exceeding glad with your countenance.

7 Ngoba inkosi ithembela kuJehova, langomusa woPhezukonke kayiyikunyikinywa.

For the king trusts in the LORD, and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved.

8 Isandla sakho sizazithola zonke izitha zakho, lesandla sakho sokunene sizabathola labo abakuzondayo.

Your hand shall find out all your enemies: your right hand shall find out those that hate you.

9 Uzabenza babe njengesithando somlilo esikhathini solaka lwakho. INkosi izabaginya ekuthukutheleni kwayo, lomlilo uzabaqothula.

You shall make them as a fiery oven in the time of your anger: the LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them.

10 Uzachitha isithelo sabo emhlabeni, lenzalo yabo phakathi kwabantwana babantu.

Their fruit shall you destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.

11 Ngoba bezimisela okubi bemelene lawe, beceba ugobe, bazakwehluleka.

For they intended evil against you: they imagined a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform.

12 Ngoba uzabafulathelisa, ngezintambo zedandili uzalungisa imitshoko imelane lobuso babo.

Therefore shall you make them turn their back, when you shall make ready your arrows on your strings against the face of them.

13 Phakama, Nkosi, ngamandla akho! Sizahlabela sidumise amandla akho.

Be you exalted, LORD, in your own strength: so will we sing and praise your power.
