Amahubo 9
1 Ngizakudumisa, Nkosi, ngenhliziyo yami yonke, ngilandise zonke izimangaliso zakho.
For the end, a Psalm of David, concerning the secrets of the Son. I will give thanks to thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will recount all thy wonderful works.
2 Ngizathaba ngithokoze kuwe, ngihlabele indumiso ebizweni lakho, wena oPhezukonke.
I will be glad and exult in thee: I will sing to thy name, O thou Most High.
3 Lapho izitha zami zibuyela emuva, zizakuwa, zibhubhe phambi kwakho.
When mine enemies are turned back, they shall be feeble and perish at thy presence.
4 Ngoba ulimele ilungelo lami lodaba lwami, wahlala esihlalweni sobukhosi, wahlulela ngokulungileyo.
For thou hast maintained my cause and my right; thou satest on the throne, that judgest righteousness.
5 Uzikhuzile izizwe, wabhubhisa omubi; walesula ibizo labo kuze kube nini lanini.
Thou hast rebuked the nations, and the ungodly one has perished; thou hast blotted out their name for ever, even for ever and ever.
6 Izitha ziphelile, izincithakalo eziphakade; uyidilizile imizi; ukukhunjulwa kwabo kubhubhe kanye labo.
The swords of the enemy have failed utterly; and thou hast destroyed cities: their memorial has been destroyed with a noise,
7 Kodwa iNkosi izahlala kuze kube phakade, isihlalo sayo sobukhosi isilungisele isahlulelo.
but the Lord endures for ever: he has prepared his throne for judgment.
8 Yona-ke izawahlulela umhlaba ngokulunga, ibagwebe abantu ngokuqonda.
And he will judge the world in righteousness, he will judge the nations in uprightness.
9 Njalo iNkosi izakuba yisiphephelo socindezelweyo, isiphephelo ngezikhathi zokuhlupheka.
The Lord also is become a refuge for the poor, a seasonable help, in affliction.
10 Labalaziyo ibizo lakho bazathemba kuwe, ngoba wena Nkosi, kawubatshiyanga abakudingayo.
And let them that know thy name hope in thee: for thou, O Lord, hast not failed them that diligently seek thee.
11 Hlabelani indumiso eNkosini ehlezi eZiyoni, limemezele phakathi kwabantu izenzo zayo.
Sing praises to the Lord, who dwells in Sion: declare his dealings among the nations.
12 Nxa idinga igazi, iyabakhumbula, kayikhohlwa ukukhala kwabahlutshwayo.
For he remembered them, [in] making inquisition for blood: he has not forgotten the supplication of the poor.
13 Woba lomusa kimi, Nkosi, ubone uhlupho lwami oluvela kwabangizondayo, wena ongiphakamisayo emasangweni okufa,
Have mercy upon me, O Lord; look upon my affliction [which I suffer] of mine enemies, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death:
14 ukuze ngilandise yonke indumiso yakho emasangweni endodakazi yeZiyoni, ngithokoze kusindiso lwakho.
that I may declare all thy praises in the gates of the daughter of Sion: I will exult in thy salvation.
15 Izizwe zitshone emgodini ezawenzayo, embuleni ezalithiyayo unyawo lwazo lubanjiwe.
The heathen are caught in the destruction which they planned: in the very snare which they hid is their foot taken.
16 INkosi izazisile, yenza isahlulelo; omubi uthiywe emsebenzini wezandla zakhe. Higayoni. (Sela)
The Lord is known as executing judgments: the sinner is taken in the works of his hands. (A song of, Pause)
Let sinners be driven away into Hades, [even] all the nations that forget God. (Sheol h7585)
18 Ngoba oswelayo kayikukhohlakala kokuphela; ithemba labayanga kaliyikunyamalala phakade.
For the poor shall not be forgotten for ever: the patience of the needy ones shall not perish for ever.
19 Vuka, Nkosi, umuntu kanganqobi; izizwe kazigwetshwe phambi kwakho.
Arise, O Lord, let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged before thee.
20 Zitshayise ngovalo, Nkosi, izizwe kazikwazi ukuthi zingabantu nje. (Sela)
Appoint, O Lord, a lawgiver over them: let the heathen know that they are men. (Pause)
