Amahubo 29

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

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

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

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

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

The LORD’s voice is on the waters. The God of glory thunders, even the LORD on many waters.

4 Ilizwi leNkosi lilamandla, ilizwi leNkosi lilobukhosi.

The LORD’s voice is powerful. The LORD’s voice is full of majesty.

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

The LORD’s voice breaks the cedars. Yes, the LORD 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 LORD’s voice strikes with flashes of lightning.

8 Ilizwi leNkosi lizamazamisa inkangala, iNkosi izamazamisa inkangala yeKadeshi.

The LORD’s voice shakes the wilderness. The LORD shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.

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

The LORD’s voice makes the deer calve, and strips the forests bare. In his temple everything says, “Glory!”

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

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

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

The LORD will give strength to his people. The LORD will bless his people with peace.
