Amahubo 87

1 Isisekelo sayo siphezu kwentaba ezingcwele.

Of the sons of Korah. A Psalm. A Song. This house is resting on the holy mountain.

2 INkosi iyawathanda amasango eZiyoni kulazo zonke indawo zokuhlala zikaJakobe.

The Lord has more love for the doors of Zion than for all the tents of Jacob.

3 Izinto ezidumileyo zikhulunywa ngawe, muzi kaNkulunkulu! (Sela)

Noble things are said of you, O town of God. (Selah)

4 Ngizaqamba iRahabi leBhabhiloni kwabangaziyo; khangela, iFilisti leTire kanye leEthiyophiya; lo wazalelwa khona.

Rahab and Babylon will be named among those who have knowledge of me; see, Philistia and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man had his birth there.

5 LangeZiyoni kuzakuthiwa: Lo lalowayana bazalelwa kuyo. LoPhezukonke uqobo uzayiqinisa.

And of Zion it will be said, This or that man had his birth there; and the Most High will make her strong.

6 INkosi izabala ekubhaleni kwayo abantu, ukuthi lo wazalelwa khona. (Sela)

The Lord will keep in mind, when he is writing the records of the people, that this man had his birth there. (Selah)

7 Labahlabeleli kanye labagidi, yonke imithombo yami ikuwe.

The players on instruments will be there, and the dancers will say, All my springs are in you.
