Amahubo 47

1 Tshayani isandla, zizwe zonke, hlokomani kuNkulunkulu ngelizwi lentokozo.

For the end, a Psalm for the sons of Core. Clap your hands, all you nations; shout to God with a voice of exultation.

2 Ngoba iNkosi, oPhezukonke, iyesabeka, yiNkosi enkulu phezu komhlaba wonke.

For the Lord most high is terrible; [he is] a great king over all the earth.

3 Izakwehlisela abantu ngaphansi kwethu, lezizwe ngaphansi kwenyawo zethu.

He has subdued the peoples under us, and the nations under our feet.

4 Izasikhethela ilifa lethu, udumo lukaJakobe emthandayo. (Sela)

He has chosen out his inheritance for us, the beauty of Jacob which he loved. (Pause)

5 UNkulunkulu wenyukile ngokuhlokoma, iNkosi ngokukhala kophondo.

God is gone up with a shout, the Lord with a sound of a trumpet.

6 Hlabelani indumiso kuNkulunkulu, hlabelelani indumiso. Hlabelani indumiso eNkosini yethu, hlabelelani indumiso.

Sing praises to our God, sing praises: sing praises to our King, sing praises.

7 Ngoba uNkulunkulu uyiNkosi yomhlaba wonke; hlabelelani indumiso ngokuqedisisa.

For God is king of all the earth: sing praises with understanding.

8 UNkulunkulu uyabusa phezu kwezizwe; uNkulunkulu uhlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi sobungcwele bakhe.

God reigns over the nations: God sits upon the throne of his holiness.

9 Iziphathamandla zabantu zibuthene ndawonye, abantu bakaNkulunkulu kaAbrahama. Ngoba izihlangu zomhlaba zingezikaNkulunkulu; uphakeme kakhulu.

The rulers of the people are assembled with the God of Abraam: for God's mighty ones of the earth have been greatly exalted.
