Amahubo 76

1 UNkulunkulu uyaziwa koJuda; ibizo lakhe likhulu koIsrayeli.

For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph. A song. God is known in Judah; His name is great in Israel.

2 Njalo idumba lakhe liseSalema, lendawo yakhe yokuhlala eZiyoni.

His tent is in Salem, His dwelling place in Zion.

3 Lapho wephula imitshoko evuthayo yedandili, isihlangu, lenkemba, lempi. (Sela)

There He shattered the flaming arrows, the shield and sword and weapons of war.

4 Uyakhazimula, ulobukhosi okwedlula izintaba zempango.

You are resplendent with light, more majestic than mountains filled with game.

5 Baphangiwe abaqinileyo ngenhliziyo, balele ubuthongo babo; njalo kakho emaqhaweni othole izandla zawo.

The valiant lie plundered; they sleep their last sleep. No men of might could lift a hand.

6 Ekukhalimeni kwakho, Nkulunkulu kaJakobe, kokubili inqola lebhiza kulele ubuthongo obukhulu.

At Your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both horse and rider lie stunned.

7 Wena, wena uyesabeka. Ngubani-ke ongema phambi kwakho kusukela esikhathini solaka lwakho?

You alone are to be feared. When You are angry, who can stand before You?

8 Wenza isahlulelo sizwakale usemazulwini; umhlaba wesaba wathula,

From heaven You pronounced judgment, and the earth feared and was still

9 mhla uNkulunkulu evukela isahlulelo, ukusindisa bonke abathobekileyo bomhlaba. (Sela)

when God rose up to judge, to save all the lowly of the earth.

10 Qotho, ulaka lomuntu luzakudumisa; uzazibhinca ngensalela yolaka.

Even the wrath of man shall praise You; with the survivors of wrath You will clothe Yourself.

11 Fungani, likhokhe eNkosini uNkulunkulu wenu, lonke eliyihanqileyo lilethe izipho kuye ofanele esatshwe.

Make and fulfill your vows to the LORD your God; let all the neighboring lands bring tribute to Him who is to be feared.

12 Izaquma umoya weziphathamandla; iyesabeka emakhosini omhlaba.

He breaks the spirits of princes; He is feared by the kings of the earth.
