Amahubo 29

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

[A Psalm by David.] Ascribe to YHWH, you sons of the mighty, ascribe to YHWH glory and strength.

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

Ascribe to YHWH the glory due to his name. Worship YHWH in holy array.

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

The voice of YHWH is on the waters. The God of glory thunders, even YHWH on many waters.

4 Ilizwi leNkosi lilamandla, ilizwi leNkosi lilobukhosi.

The voice of YHWH is powerful. The voice of YHWH is full of majesty.

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

The voice of YHWH breaks the cedars. Yes, YHWH breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.

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

He makes them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young, wild ox.

7 Ilizwi leNkosi lidabula amalangabi omlilo.

The voice of YHWH strikes with flashes of lightning.

8 Ilizwi leNkosi lizamazamisa inkangala, iNkosi izamazamisa inkangala yeKadeshi.

The voice of YHWH shakes the wilderness. YHWH shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.

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

The voice of YHWH makes the large trees tremble, and strips the forests bare. In his temple everything says, "Glory."

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

YHWH sat enthroned at the Flood. Yes, YHWH sits as King forever.

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

YHWH will give strength to his people. YHWH will bless his people with peace.
