Amahubo 93

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

The Lord reigneth, he is clothed with excellency; the Lord is clothed, he hath girded himself with strength: [therefore] also the world is firmly established, that it cannot be moved.

2 Isihlalo sakho sobukhosi samiswa kwasendulo; usukela ephakadeni.

Firmly established is thy throne from the beginning: from everlasting art thou [God].

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 voice; the rivers lift up their waves.

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

[But] more than the noise of great waters, than the mighty billows of the sea, is the Lord excellent on high.

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

Thy testimonies are exceedingly steadfast: in thy house abideth holiness, O Lord! to the utmost length of days.
