Amahubo 21

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

[For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.] The king rejoices in your strength, LORD. How greatly he rejoices in your salvation.

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 meet him with the blessings of goodness. You set a crown of fine gold on his head.

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

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

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

His glory is great in your salvation. You lay honor and majesty on him.

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

For you make him most blessed forever. You make him glad with joy in your presence.

7 Ngoba inkosi ithembela kuJehova, langomusa woPhezukonke kayiyikunyikinywa.

For the king trusts in the LORD. Through the loving kindness of the Most High, he shall not be moved.

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

Your hand will find out all of your enemies. Your right hand will find all those who hate you.

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

You will make them as a fiery furnace in the time of your anger. The LORD will swallow them up in his wrath. The fire shall devour them.

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

You will destroy their descendants from the earth, their posterity from among the descendants of Adam.

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

Though they intend evil against you, devising a wicked scheme, they will not succeed.

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

For you will make them turn their back, when you aim drawn bows at their face.

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

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