Amahubo 47

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

“For the leader of the music. A psalm of the sons of Korah.” O clap your hands, all ye nations! Shout unto God with the voice of triumph!

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

For terrible is Jehovah, the Most High, The great king over all the earth.

3 Izakwehlisela abantu ngaphansi kwethu, lezizwe ngaphansi kwenyawo zethu.

He hath subdued nations under us, And kingdoms under our feet;

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

He hath chosen for us an inheritance, The glory of Jacob, whom he loved. (Pause)

5 UNkulunkulu wenyukile ngokuhlokoma, iNkosi ngokukhala kophondo.

God goeth up with a shout; Jehovah with the sound of the trumpet.

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

Sing praises to 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 to him hymns of praise!

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

God reigneth over the nations; God sitteth upon his holy throne.

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

The princes of the nations gather themselves together To the people of the God of Abraham; For the mighty of the earth belong to God; He is supremely exalted.
