Amahubo 47

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

For the leader. Of the Korahites. A psalm. Clap your hands, all you peoples: shout to God in ringing cries.

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

For the Lord is most high and dread, a great king over all the earth.

3 Izakwehlisela abantu ngaphansi kwethu, lezizwe ngaphansi kwenyawo zethu.

He subdues the peoples under us, the nations under our feet;

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

he chooses our heritage for us, the glory of Jacob whom he loves. (Selah)

5 UNkulunkulu wenyukile ngokuhlokoma, iNkosi ngokukhala kophondo.

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

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

Sing praise to our God, sing praises: sing praise to our king, sing praises.

7 Ngoba uNkulunkulu uyiNkosi yomhlaba wonke; hlabelelani indumiso ngokuqedisisa.

For king of all earth is he: praise God in a skilful song.

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

God is king over all the nations, God sits on his holy throne.

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

Princes of nations gather with the people of Abraham’s God: for the shields of the earth are God’s; greatly exalted is he.
