1 UNkulunkulu uyaziwa koJuda; ibizo lakhe likhulu koIsrayeli.
For the Leader; with string-music. A Psalm of Asaph, a Song. In Judah is God known; His name is great in Israel.
2 Njalo idumba lakhe liseSalema, lendawo yakhe yokuhlala eZiyoni.
In Salem also is set His tabernacle, and His dwelling-place in Zion.
3 Lapho wephula imitshoko evuthayo yedandili, isihlangu, lenkemba, lempi. (Sela)
There He broke the fiery shafts of the bow; the shield, and the sword, and the battle. (Selah)
4 Uyakhazimula, ulobukhosi okwedlula izintaba zempango.
Glorious art Thou and excellent, coming down from the mountains of prey.
5 Baphangiwe abaqinileyo ngenhliziyo, balele ubuthongo babo; njalo kakho emaqhaweni othole izandla zawo.
The stout-hearted are bereft of sense, they sleep their sleep; and none of the men of might have found their hands.
6 Ekukhalimeni kwakho, Nkulunkulu kaJakobe, kokubili inqola lebhiza kulele ubuthongo obukhulu.
At Thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, they are cast into a dead sleep, the riders also and the horses.
7 Wena, wena uyesabeka. Ngubani-ke ongema phambi kwakho kusukela esikhathini solaka lwakho?
Thou, even Thou, art terrible; and who may stand in Thy sight when once Thou art angry?
8 Wenza isahlulelo sizwakale usemazulwini; umhlaba wesaba wathula,
Thou didst cause sentence to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still,
9 mhla uNkulunkulu evukela isahlulelo, ukusindisa bonke abathobekileyo bomhlaba. (Sela)
When God arose to judgment, to save all the humble of the earth. (Selah)
10 Qotho, ulaka lomuntu luzakudumisa; uzazibhinca ngensalela yolaka.
Surely the wrath of man shall praise Thee; the residue of wrath shalt Thou gird upon Thee.
11 Fungani, likhokhe eNkosini uNkulunkulu wenu, lonke eliyihanqileyo lilethe izipho kuye ofanele esatshwe.
Vow, and pay unto the LORD your God; let all that are round about Him bring presents unto Him that is to be feared;
12 Izaquma umoya weziphathamandla; iyesabeka emakhosini omhlaba.
He minisheth the spirit of princes; He is terrible to the kings of the earth.
