Amahubo 24

1 Umhlaba ungoweNkosi, lokugcwala kwawo, ilizwe, labahlala kulo.

A Psalm. Of David. The earth is the Lord's, with all its wealth; the world and all the people living in it.

2 Ngoba yona yawusekela phezu kwezinlwandle, yawumisa phezu kwemifula.

For by him it was based on the seas, and made strong on the deep rivers.

3 Ngubani ozakwenyukela entabeni yeNkosi? Kumbe ngubani ozakuma endaweni yayo engcwele?

Who may go up into the hill of the Lord? and who may come into his holy place?

4 Ngulowo olezandla ezihlanzekileyo lenhliziyo emhlophe, ongaphakamiseli umphefumulo wakhe kokuyize longafungi ngenkohliso.

He who has clean hands and a true heart; whose desire has not gone out to foolish things, who has not taken a false oath.

5 Uzakwemukela isibusiso eNkosini, lokulunga kuNkulunkulu wosindiso lwakhe.

He will have blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

6 Lesi yisizukulwana salabo abayidingayo, abadinga ubuso bakho, ngitsho Jakobe. (Sela)

This is the generation of those whose hearts are turned to you, even to your face, O God of Jacob. (Selah)

7 Phakamisani inhloko zenu, lina masango, phakanyiswani, lina minyango yaphakade, ukuze kungene iNkosi yenkazimulo.

Let your heads be lifted up, O doors; be lifted up, O you eternal doors: that the King of glory may come in.

8 Ingubani liNkosi yenkazimulo? INkosi elamandla leliqhawe, iNkosi elamandla empini.

Who is the King of glory? The Lord of strength and power, the Lord strong in war.

9 Phakamisani inhloko zenu, lina masango, yebo, phakamani, lina minyango yaphakade, ukuze kungene iNkosi yenkazimulo.

Let your heads be lifted up, O doors; let them be lifted up, O you eternal doors: that the King of glory may come in.

10 Ingubani liNkosi yenkazimulo? INkosi yamabandla, yiyo eyiNkosi yenkazimulo. (Sela)

Who is the King of glory? The Lord of armies, he is the King of glory. (Selah)
