Amahubo 65
1 Ukulinda ngokuthula kuyindumiso kuwe, Nkulunkulu, eZiyoni, lesifungo sizagcwaliswa kuwe.
For the chief musician. A psalm. A song of David. For you, God in Zion, our praise waits; our vows will be carried out to you.
2 Wena ozwa umkhuleko, yonke inyama izakuza kuwe.
You who hear prayer, to you all flesh will come.
3 Izinto zobubi zingehlule. Iziphambeko zethu, wena uzenzele inhlawulo yokuthula.
Iniquities prevail against us; as for our transgressions, you will forgive them.
4 Ubusisiwe omkhethayo, omsondezayo ukuthi ahlale emagumeni akho. Sizasutha ngokuhle kwendlu yakho, ithempeli lakho elingcwele.
Blessed is the man whom you choose to bring near to you so that he may live in your courts. We will be satisfied with the goodness of your house, your holy temple.
5 Ngezinto ezesabekayo uzasiphendula, Nkulunkulu wosindiso lwethu, themba lemikhawulo yonke yomhlaba, lelabakhatshana elwandle.
In righteousness you will answer us by doing amazing things, God of our salvation; you who are hope of all the ends of the earth and of those who are far across the sea.
6 Omisa izintaba ngamandla akhe, ebhince amandla.
For it is you who made the mountains firm, you who are belted with strength.
7 Othulisa ukuduma kwezinlwandle, lenhlokomo yamagagasi azo, lokuxokozela kwabantu.
It is you who quiet the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, and the commotion of the peoples.
8 Labakhileyo emikhawulweni bayesaba iziboniso zakho; wenza kuhlabele kuthokoze ukuphuma kokusa lokokuhlwa.
Those who live in the uttermost parts of the earth are afraid of the evidence of your deeds; you make the east and the west rejoice.
9 Uyahambela umhlaba uwuthelele, uwuvundise kakhulu; umfula kaNkulunkulu ugcwele amanzi; uyabalungisela amabele, lapho uwulungisa ngokunjalo.
You come to help the earth; you water it; you greatly enrich it; the river of God is full of water; you provide mankind grain when you have prepared the earth.
10 Uyathelela kakhulu imisele yawo, ulalise imigelo yawo, uyithambise ngezihlambo, ubusise ukumila kwawo.
You water its furrows abundantly; you settle down the furrows' ridges; you make them soft with rain showers; you bless the sprouts between them.
11 Uyethesa umnyaka ngomqhele wobuhle bakho; lemikhondo yakho ithonta amafutha.
You crown the year with your goodness, and your wagon tracks overflow with abundance.
12 Ithontela amadlelo eganga, lamaqaqa embethe intokozo.
The pastures in the wilderness drip with dew, and the hills are clothed with joy.
13 Amadlelo embethe imihlambi, lezigodi zisitshekelwe ngamabele; kuyajabula kakhulu, njalo kuhlabele.
The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with grain; they shout for joy, and they sing.
