Amahubo 98

1 Hlabelelani iNkosi ingoma entsha, ngoba yenzile izimangaliso; isandla sayo sokunene lengalo yayo engcwele kuyizuzele ukunqoba.

A psalm. Oh, sing to Yahweh a new song, for he has done marvelous things; his right hand and his holy arm have given him victory.

2 INkosi yazisile usindiso lwayo, yembule ukulunga kwayo emehlweni ezizwe.

Yahweh has made known his salvation; he has openly showed his justice to all the nations.

3 Ikhumbule umusa wayo leqiniso layo kuyo indlu kaIsrayeli. Imikhawulo yonke yomhlaba ibonile usindiso lukaNkulunkulu wethu.

He calls to mind his covenant loyalty and faithfulness for the house of Israel; all the ends of the earth will see the victory of our God.

4 Hlokomani ngentokozo eNkosini, mhlaba wonke, lenze umsindo omkhulu, lithokoze, lihlabele indumiso.

Shout for joy to Yahweh, all the earth; burst into song, sing for joy, and sing praises.

5 Hlabelelani eNkosini ngechacho, ngechacho lelizwi lokuhlabelela.

Sing praises to Yahweh with the harp, with the harp and melodious song.

6 Ngezimpondo langomsindo wophondo lwenqama hlokomani ngentokozo phambi kweNkosi, uJehova.

With trumpets and the sound of the horn, make a joyful noise before the King, Yahweh.

7 Kaluholobe ulwandle lokugcwala kwalo, umhlaba labahlala kuwo.

Let the sea shout and everything in it, the world and those who live in it!

8 Imifula kayitshaye izandla, izintaba zihlabelele ndawonye ngentokozo

Let the rivers clap their hands, and let the mountains shout for joy.

9 phambi kweNkosi, ngoba iyeza ukwahlulela umhlaba; izawahlulela umhlaba ngokulunga, lezizwe ngokuqonda.

Yahweh is coming to judge the earth; he will judge the world with righteousness and the nations with fairness.
