Amahubo 29

1 Inikeni iNkosi, lina madodana abalamandla, inikeni iNkosi udumo lamandla.

“A psalm of David.” Ascribe unto the Lord, O ye sons of the mighty, ascribe unto the Lord glory and strength.

2 Inikeni iNkosi udumo lwebizo layo, likhothame eNkosini ebuhleni bobungcwele.

Ascribe unto the Lord the glory of his name; bow down to the Lord in the beauty of holiness.

3 Ilizwi leNkosi liphezu kwamanzi; uNkulunkulu wenkazimulo uyaduma; iNkosi iphezu kwamanzi amanengi.

The voice of the Lord is upon the waters; the God of glory thundereth, the Lord—upon mighty waters.

4 Ilizwi leNkosi lilamandla, ilizwi leNkosi lilobukhosi.

The voice of the Lord [resoundeth] with power; the voice of the Lord [resoundeth] with majesty.

5 Ilizwi leNkosi lephula imisedari, yebo, iNkosi yephula imisedari yeLebhanoni.

The voice of the Lord breaketh in pieces the cedars; yea, the Lord shivereth the cedars of Lebanon;

6 Yenza yona-ke iqolotshe njengethole, iLebhanoni leSiriyoni njengethole lenyathi.

And he maketh them skip like a calf; Lebanon and Siryon like young reems.

7 Ilizwi leNkosi lidabula amalangabi omlilo.

The voice of the Lord heweth out flames of fire.

8 Ilizwi leNkosi lizamazamisa inkangala, iNkosi izamazamisa inkangala yeKadeshi.

The voice of the Lord shaketh the wilderness; the Lord shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh.

9 Ilizwi leNkosi lizalisa izimpala, lihlubule amahlathi; lethempelini layo konke kuthi: Udumo.

The voice of the Lord causeth the hinds to start, and maketh bare forests: and in his temple every thing speaketh [of his] glory.

10 UJehova uhlezi phezu kukazamcolo, yebo, uJehova uhlezi eyiNkosi kuze kube nininini.

The Lord sat [enthroned] at the flood: and the Lord will sit as King for ever.

11 INkosi izanika abantu bayo amandla; iNkosi ibusise abantu bayo ngokuthula.

The Lord will give strength unto his people: the Lord will bless his people with peace.
