1 UNkulunkulu uyisiphephelo sethu lamandla ethu, uyatholwa elusizo kakhulu ekuhluphekeni.
To the Chief Musician. For the Sons of Korah, on Alamoth. A Song. God—for us, is a refuge and strength, A help in distresses, soon found.
2 Ngenxa yalokhu kasiyikwesaba ekuguqukeni komhlaba, lanxa izintaba zidilikela phakathi kwenlwandle.
For this cause, will we not fear, Though the earth showeth change, Or the mountains slip into the heart of the seas:
3 Amanzi alo kawahlokome, akhaphazele, izintaba zizamazame ngokukhukhumala kwalo. (Sela)
The waters thereof roar and foam, The mountains tremble with the swelling thereof (Selah)
4 Kulomfula, izifula zawo zithokozisa umuzi kaNkulunkulu, indawo engcwele yamathabhanekele oPhezukonke.
A river! whose channels, shall gladden the city of God, The Most High, hath hallowed his habitation.
5 UNkulunkulu uphakathi kwawo, kawuyikunyikinywa; uNkulunkulu uzawusiza ngovivi lokusa.
God, is in the midst of her, she shall not be shaken, God will help her, by the turnings of the morning.
6 Izizwe ziyaxokozela, imibuso izamazame; wakhupha ilizwi lakhe, umhlaba wancibilika.
Nations have roared, Kingdoms have tottered, He hath uttered his voice, Earth melteth.
7 INkosi yamabandla ilathi, uNkulunkulu kaJakobe uyinqaba yethu. (Sela)
Yahweh of hosts, is with us, A high tower for us, is the God of Jacob. (Selah)
8 Wozani libone imisebenzi yeNkosi, incithakalo eyenzileyo emhlabeni.
Come! view the doings of Yahweh, —Who hath set desolations in the earth;
9 Yenza izimpi ziphele kuze kube semkhawulweni womhlaba; yephula idandili, iqumaqume umkhonto, itshise izinqola emlilweni.
Causing wars to cease unto the end of the earth, —The bow, he shivereth, And breaketh in pieces the spear, war-chariots, burneth he up with fire.
10 Thulani, lazi ukuthi mina nginguNkulunkulu, ngizaphakanyiswa phakathi kwezizwe, ngiphakanyiswe emhlabeni.
Let be! and know that, I, am God, I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.
11 INkosi yamabandla ilathi, uNkulunkulu kaJakobe uyinqaba yethu. (Sela)
Yahweh of hosts, is with us, A high tower for us, is the God of Jacob. (Selah)
