Amahubo 96

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

Sing ye unto Jehovah a new song: sing unto Jehovah, all the earth.

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

Sing unto Jehovah, bless his name; publish his salvation from day to day.

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

Declare his glory among the nations, his wondrous works among all the peoples.

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

For Jehovah is great and exceedingly 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 peoples are idols; but Jehovah made the heavens.

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

Majesty and splendour are before him; strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

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

Give unto Jehovah, ye families of peoples, give unto Jehovah glory and strength;

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

Give unto Jehovah the glory of his name; bring an oblation and come into his courts;

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

Worship Jehovah in holy splendour; tremble before him, all the earth.

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

Say among the nations, Jehovah reigneth! yea, the world is established, it shall not be moved; he will execute judgment upon the peoples with equity.

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

Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof;

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

Let the field exult and all that is therein. Then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy,

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

Before Jehovah, for he cometh; for he cometh to judge the earth: he will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples in his faithfulness.
