Amahubo 99

1 INkosi iyabusa; abantu kabathuthumele; ihlezi phakathi kwamakherubhi; umhlaba kawuzamazame.

The LORD reigns; let the nations tremble! He is enthroned above the cherubim; let the earth quake!

2 INkosi yinkulu eZiyoni; njalo iphakeme phezu kwezizwe zonke.

Great is the LORD in Zion; He is exalted above all the peoples.

3 Kazidumise ibizo lakho elikhulu lelesabekayo; lingcwele lona.

Let them praise Your great and awesome name— He is holy!

4 Lamandla eNkosi athanda isahlulelo; wena umisa ukuqonda; wena wenza isahlulelo lokulunga kuJakobe.

The mighty King loves justice. You have established equity; You have exercised justice and righteousness in Jacob.

5 Phakamisani iNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu, likhonze esenabelweni sezinyawo zayo. Ingcwele yona.

Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at His footstool; He is holy!

6 UMozisi loAroni phakathi kwabapristi bayo, loSamuweli phakathi kwababiza ibizo layo, babiza iNkosi, yona yasibaphendula.

Moses and Aaron were among His priests; Samuel was among those who called on His name. They called to the LORD and He answered.

7 Yakhuluma labo iphakathi kwensika yeyezi; bagcina izifakazelo zayo lesimiso eyabanika sona.

He spoke to them from the pillar of cloud; they kept His decrees and the statutes He gave them.

8 Nkosi Nkulunkulu wethu, wena wabaphendula; waba nguNkulunkulu obathethelelayo, lanxa uphindisela ezenzweni zabo.

O LORD our God, You answered them. You were a forgiving God to them, yet an avenger of their misdeeds.

9 Phakamisani iNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu, likhonze entabeni yayo engcwele; ngoba iNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu ingcwele.

Exalt the LORD our God and worship at His holy mountain, for the LORD our God is holy.
