Amahubo 9
1 Ngizakudumisa, Nkosi, ngenhliziyo yami yonke, ngilandise zonke izimangaliso zakho.
Unto the end. For the secrets of the Son. A Psalm of David. I will confess to you, Lord, with my whole heart. I will recount all your wonders.
2 Ngizathaba ngithokoze kuwe, ngihlabele indumiso ebizweni lakho, wena oPhezukonke.
I will rejoice and exult in you. I will sing a psalm to your name, O Most High.
3 Lapho izitha zami zibuyela emuva, zizakuwa, zibhubhe phambi kwakho.
For my enemy will be turned back. They will be weakened and perish before your face.
4 Ngoba ulimele ilungelo lami lodaba lwami, wahlala esihlalweni sobukhosi, wahlulela ngokulungileyo.
For you have accomplished my judgment and my cause. You have sat upon the throne that judges justice.
5 Uzikhuzile izizwe, wabhubhisa omubi; walesula ibizo labo kuze kube nini lanini.
You have rebuked the Gentiles, and the impious one has perished. You have deleted their name in eternity and for all generations.
6 Izitha ziphelile, izincithakalo eziphakade; uyidilizile imizi; ukukhunjulwa kwabo kubhubhe kanye labo.
The spears of the enemy have failed in the end, and their cities, you have destroyed. Their memory has perished with a loud noise.
7 Kodwa iNkosi izahlala kuze kube phakade, isihlalo sayo sobukhosi isilungisele isahlulelo.
But the Lord remains in eternity. He has prepared his throne in judgment.
8 Yona-ke izawahlulela umhlaba ngokulunga, ibagwebe abantu ngokuqonda.
And he will judge the whole world in equity. He will judge the people in justice.
9 Njalo iNkosi izakuba yisiphephelo socindezelweyo, isiphephelo ngezikhathi zokuhlupheka.
And the Lord has become a refuge for the poor, a helper in opportunity, in tribulation.
10 Labalaziyo ibizo lakho bazathemba kuwe, ngoba wena Nkosi, kawubatshiyanga abakudingayo.
And may they hope in you, who know your name. For you have not abandoned those seeking you, Lord.
11 Hlabelani indumiso eNkosini ehlezi eZiyoni, limemezele phakathi kwabantu izenzo zayo.
Sing a psalm to the Lord, who dwells in Zion. Announce his study among the Gentiles.
12 Nxa idinga igazi, iyabakhumbula, kayikhohlwa ukukhala kwabahlutshwayo.
Because of those who yearned for their blood, he has remembered them. He has not forgotten the cry of the poor.
13 Woba lomusa kimi, Nkosi, ubone uhlupho lwami oluvela kwabangizondayo, wena ongiphakamisayo emasangweni okufa,
Have mercy on me, Lord. See my humiliation from my enemies.
14 ukuze ngilandise yonke indumiso yakho emasangweni endodakazi yeZiyoni, ngithokoze kusindiso lwakho.
You lift me up from the gates of death, so that I may announce all your praises at the gates of the daughter of Zion.
15 Izizwe zitshone emgodini ezawenzayo, embuleni ezalithiyayo unyawo lwazo lubanjiwe.
I will exult in your salvation. The Gentiles have become trapped in the ruin that they made. Their foot has been caught in the same snare that they themselves had hidden.
16 INkosi izazisile, yenza isahlulelo; omubi uthiywe emsebenzini wezandla zakhe. Higayoni. (Sela)
The Lord will be recognized when making judgments. The sinner has been caught in the works of his own hands. (Pause)
The sinners will be turned into Hell: all the Gentiles who have forgotten God. (Sheol h7585)
18 Ngoba oswelayo kayikukhohlakala kokuphela; ithemba labayanga kaliyikunyamalala phakade.
For the poor will not be forgotten in the end. The patience of the poor will not perish in the end.
19 Vuka, Nkosi, umuntu kanganqobi; izizwe kazigwetshwe phambi kwakho.
Rise up, Lord: do not let man be strengthened. Let the Gentiles be judged in your sight.
20 Zitshayise ngovalo, Nkosi, izizwe kazikwazi ukuthi zingabantu nje. (Sela)
O Lord, establish a lawgiver over them, so that the Gentiles may know that they are only men. (Pause)
