< Amahubo 96 >
1 Hlabelani eNkosini ingoma entsha; hlabelelani eNkosini, mhlaba wonke.
O 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; show forth his salvation from day to day.
3 Landisani udumo lwayo phakathi kwezizwe, izimangaliso zayo phakathi kwabantu bonke.
Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders 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 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 the LORD made the heavens.
6 Ubukhosi lenkazimulo kuphambi kwayo, amandla lobuhle kusendlini yayo engcwele.
Honour and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
7 Inikeni iNkosi, zizukulwana zezizwe, inikeni iNkosi udumo lamandla.
Give to the LORD, O ye kindreds of the people, give to the LORD glory and strength.
8 Inikeni iNkosi udumo lwebizo layo; lethani umnikelo, lingene emagumeni ayo.
Give to the LORD the glory due to his name: bring an offering, and come into his courts.
9 Ikhonzeni iNkosi ebuhleni bobungcwele; lithuthumele phambi kwayo, mhlaba wonke.
O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth.
10 Tshonini phakathi kwezizwe: INkosi iyabusa. Lomhlaba umisiwe, kawuyikunyikinyeka; izabahlulela abantu ngokuqonda.
Say among the heathen that the LORD reigneth: the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people righteously.
11 Kawathokoze amazulu, lomhlaba ujabule; kaluhlokome ulwandle lokugcwala kwalo.
Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and all it containeth.
12 Iganga kalithabe lakho konke okukulo. Khona izihlahla zonke zegusu zizahlabela ngentokozo
Let the field be joyful, and all that is in it: then shall all the trees of the forest rejoice
13 phambi kweNkosi, ngoba iyeza, ngoba iyeza ukwahlulela umhlaba; izakwahlulela umhlaba ngokulunga, labantu ngeqiniso layo.
Before the LORD: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth.
