Amahubo 21
1 Jehova, inkosi izajabula emandleni akho, lesindisweni lwakho izathaba kangakanani!
To the Chief Musician. A Melody of David. O Yahweh, in thy strength, will the king rejoice, and, in thy salvation, how greatly will he exult!
2 Uyinikile isifiso senhliziyo yayo, kawuyincitshanga isicelo sendebe zayo. (Sela)
The longing of his heart, hast thou given him, and, the request of his lips, hast thou not withheld. (Selah)
3 Ngoba uyihlangabeze ngezibusiso zokuhle, wayethwesa umqhele wegolide elihle ekhanda layo.
For thou wilt come to meet him, with the blessings of goodness, Thou wilt set on his head, a crown of pure gold.
4 Yacela impilo kuwe, wayinika yona, ubude bezinsuku kuze kube nini lanini.
Life, he asked of thee, Thou hast given it him, length of days, to times age-abiding and beyond.
5 Lukhulu udumo lwayo ekusindiseni kwakho, inkazimulo lobukhosi wakubeka phezu kwayo.
Great is his glory, in thy salvation, Honour and majesty, wilt thou lay upon him;
6 Ngoba uyenze yabusiseka kakhulu kuze kube nininini, uyayithokozisa ngenjabulo ebukhoneni bakho.
For thou wilt appoint him blessings evermore, wilt cheer him with joy by thy countenance;
7 Ngoba inkosi ithembela kuJehova, langomusa woPhezukonke kayiyikunyikinywa.
For, the king, is trusting in Yahweh, and, in the lovingkindness of the Highest, shall he not be shaken.
8 Isandla sakho sizazithola zonke izitha zakho, lesandla sakho sokunene sizabathola labo abakuzondayo.
Thy hand, will find out, all thy foes, Thine own right hand, will find out them who hate thee.
9 Uzabenza babe njengesithando somlilo esikhathini solaka lwakho. INkosi izabaginya ekuthukutheleni kwayo, lomlilo uzabaqothula.
Thou wilt make them like a furnace of fire, at the time of thy presence, —Yahweh, in his anger, will swallow them up, and there shall consume them a fire:
10 Uzachitha isithelo sabo emhlabeni, lenzalo yabo phakathi kwabantwana babantu.
Their fruit—out of the earth, wilt thou destroy, and their seed, from among the sons of men;
11 Ngoba bezimisela okubi bemelene lawe, beceba ugobe, bazakwehluleka.
For they have held out, against thee, a wicked thing, They have devised a scheme they cannot accomplish.
12 Ngoba uzabafulathelisa, ngezintambo zedandili uzalungisa imitshoko imelane lobuso babo.
For thou wilt cause them to turn their back, Upon thy bow-strings, wilt thou make ready against their face.
13 Phakama, Nkosi, ngamandla akho! Sizahlabela sidumise amandla akho.
Be exalted, O Yahweh, in thy strength! With song and with string will we sound forth thy power.
