Amahubo 93

1 INkosi iyabusa; yembethe ubukhosi; iNkosi yembethe amandla; izibhincisile. Umhlaba lawo uqinisiwe, kawuyikunyikinywa.

For the day before the Sabbath, when the land was [first] inhabited, the praise of a Song by David. The Lord reigns; he has clothed himself with honour: the Lord has clothed and girded himself with strength; for he has established the world, which shall not be moved.

2 Isihlalo sakho sobukhosi samiswa kwasendulo; usukela ephakadeni.

Your throne is prepared of old: you are from everlasting.

3 Imifula iphakamisile, Nkosi, imifula iphakamise ukuholoba kwayo, imifula iphakamisile amagagasi ayo agubhazelayo.

The rivers have lifted up, O Lord, the rivers have lifted up their voices,

4 INkosi ephakemeyo ilamandla kulokuduma kwamanzi amanengi, kulamagagasi olwandle agubhazayo alamandla.

at the voices of many waters: the billows of the sea are wonderful: the Lord is wonderful in high places.

5 Izifakazelo zakho ziqinisekile kakhulu; ubungcwele buyifanele indlu yakho, Nkosi, kuze kube ebudeni bezinsuku.

Your testimonies are made very sure: holiness becomes your house, O Lord, for ever.
