Amahubo 24

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

Of David. A Psalm. The earth is Jehovah's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

2 Ngoba yona yawusekela phezu kwezinlwandle, yawumisa phezu kwemifula.

For it was he that founded it upon seas, and established it upon floods.

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

Who shall ascend into the mount of Jehovah? and who shall stand in his holy place?

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

He that hath blameless hands and a pure heart; who lifteth not up his soul unto vanity, nor sweareth deceitfully:

5 Uzakwemukela isibusiso eNkosini, lokulunga kuNkulunkulu wosindiso lwakhe.

He shall receive blessing from Jehovah, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

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

This is the generation of them that seek unto him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. (Selah)

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

Lift up your heads, ye gates, and be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors, and the King of glory shall come in.

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

Who is this King of glory? Jehovah strong and mighty, Jehovah mighty in battle.

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

Lift up your heads, ye gates; yea, lift up, ye everlasting doors, and the King of glory shall come in.

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

Who is he, this King of glory? Jehovah of hosts, he is the King of glory. (Selah)
