Amahubo 96

1 Hlabelani eNkosini ingoma entsha; hlabelelani eNkosini, mhlaba wonke.

Sing to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, all the earth.

2 Hlabelani eNkosini, lidumise ibizo layo, litshumayele usindiso lwayo insuku ngensuku.

Sing to the LORD, bless His name; proclaim His salvation day after day.

3 Landisani udumo lwayo phakathi kwezizwe, izimangaliso zayo phakathi kwabantu bonke.

Declare His glory among the nations, His wonderful deeds among all peoples.

4 Ngoba yinkulu iNkosi, ifanele ukudunyiswa kakhulu, yona iyesabeka phezu kwabonkulunkulu bonke.

For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods.

5 Ngoba bonke onkulunkulu bezizwe bayizithombe; kodwa iNkosi yenza amazulu.

For all the gods of the nations are idols, but it is the LORD who made the heavens.

6 Ubukhosi lenkazimulo kuphambi kwayo, amandla lobuhle kusendlini yayo engcwele.

Splendor and majesty are before Him; strength and beauty fill His sanctuary.

7 Inikeni iNkosi, zizukulwana zezizwe, inikeni iNkosi udumo lamandla.

Ascribe to the LORD, O families of the nations, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.

8 Inikeni iNkosi udumo lwebizo layo; lethani umnikelo, lingene emagumeni ayo.

Ascribe to the LORD the glory due His name; bring an offering and enter His courts.

9 Ikhonzeni iNkosi ebuhleni bobungcwele; lithuthumele phambi kwayo, mhlaba wonke.

Worship the LORD in the splendor of His holiness; tremble before Him, all the earth.

10 Tshonini phakathi kwezizwe: INkosi iyabusa. Lomhlaba umisiwe, kawuyikunyikinyeka; izabahlulela abantu ngokuqonda.

Declare among the nations: “The LORD reigns!” The world is firmly established; it cannot be moved; He will judge the peoples with equity.

11 Kawathokoze amazulu, lomhlaba ujabule; kaluhlokome ulwandle lokugcwala kwalo.

Let the heavens be glad and the earth rejoice; let the sea resound, and all that fills it.

12 Iganga kalithabe lakho konke okukulo. Khona izihlahla zonke zegusu zizahlabela ngentokozo

Let the fields exult, and all that is in them. Then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy

13 phambi kweNkosi, ngoba iyeza, ngoba iyeza ukwahlulela umhlaba; izakwahlulela umhlaba ngokulunga, labantu ngeqiniso layo.

before the LORD, for He is coming— He is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples in His faithfulness.
