Amahubo 96
1 Hlabelani eNkosini ingoma entsha; hlabelelani eNkosini, mhlaba wonke.
When the house was built after the Captivity, a Song of David. 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 from day to day.
3 Landisani udumo lwayo phakathi kwezizwe, izimangaliso zayo phakathi kwabantu bonke.
Publish his glory among the Gentiles, his wonderful works among all people.
4 Ngoba yinkulu iNkosi, ifanele ukudunyiswa kakhulu, yona iyesabeka phezu kwabonkulunkulu bonke.
For the Lord is great, and greatly to be praised: he is terrible above all gods.
5 Ngoba bonke onkulunkulu bezizwe bayizithombe; kodwa iNkosi yenza amazulu.
For all the gods of the heathen are devils: but the Lord made the heavens.
6 Ubukhosi lenkazimulo kuphambi kwayo, amandla lobuhle kusendlini yayo engcwele.
Thanksgiving and beauty are before him: holiness and majesty are in his sanctuary.
7 Inikeni iNkosi, zizukulwana zezizwe, inikeni iNkosi udumo lamandla.
Bring to the Lord, ye families of the Gentiles, bring to the Lord glory and honour.
8 Inikeni iNkosi udumo lwebizo layo; lethani umnikelo, lingene emagumeni ayo.
Bring to the Lord the glory [becoming] his name: take offerings, and go into his courts.
9 Ikhonzeni iNkosi ebuhleni bobungcwele; lithuthumele phambi kwayo, mhlaba wonke.
Worship the Lord in his holy court: let all the earth tremble before him.
10 Tshonini phakathi kwezizwe: INkosi iyabusa. Lomhlaba umisiwe, kawuyikunyikinyeka; izabahlulela abantu ngokuqonda.
Say among the heathen, The Lord reigns: for he has established the world so that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people in righteousness.
11 Kawathokoze amazulu, lomhlaba ujabule; kaluhlokome ulwandle lokugcwala kwalo.
Let the heavens rejoice, and the earth exult; let the sea be moved, and the fullness of it.
12 Iganga kalithabe lakho konke okukulo. Khona izihlahla zonke zegusu zizahlabela ngentokozo
The plains shall rejoice, and all things in them: then shall all the trees of the wood exult before the presence of the Lord:
13 phambi kweNkosi, ngoba iyeza, ngoba iyeza ukwahlulela umhlaba; izakwahlulela umhlaba ngokulunga, labantu ngeqiniso layo.
for he comes, for he comes to judge the earth; he shall judge the world in righteousness, and the people with his truth.
