Amahubo 47

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

For the chief musician. A psalm of the sons of Korah. Clap your hands, all you peoples; shout to God with the sound of triumph.

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

For Yahweh Most High is terrifying; he is a great King over all the earth.

3 Izakwehlisela abantu ngaphansi kwethu, lezizwe ngaphansi kwenyawo zethu.

He subdues peoples under us and nations under our feet.

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

He chooses our inheritance for us, the glory of Jacob whom he loved. (Selah)

5 UNkulunkulu wenyukile ngokuhlokoma, iNkosi ngokukhala kophondo.

God has gone up with a shout, Yahweh with the sound of a 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 the King over 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 on his holy throne.

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

The princes of the peoples have gathered together to the people of the God of Abraham; for the shields of the earth belong to God; he is greatly exalted.
