Psalms 24

1 A Psalm by David. The earth is Yahweh’s, with its fullness; the world, and those who dwell in it.

Ihubo likaDavida. Umhlaba ngokaThixo, lakho konke okukuwo, ilizwe labo bonke abahlala kulo;

2 For he has founded it on the seas, and established it on the floods.

ngoba wenza isisekelo sawo phezu kolwandle wawumisa phezu kwamanzi.

3 Who may ascend to Yahweh’s hill? Who may stand in his holy place?

Ngubani ongaqansa intaba kaThixo na? Ngubani ongema endaweni yakhe engcwele na?

4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart; who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood, and has not sworn deceitfully.

Ngulowo olezandla ezihlanzekileyo lenhliziyo emhlophe, ongaphakamiseli umphefumulo wakhe kunkulunkulu wamanga loba afunge ngenkohliso.

5 He shall receive a blessing from Yahweh, righteousness from the God of his salvation.

Uzakwamukela isibusiso kuThixo lokukhululwa kuNkulunkulu uMsindisi wakhe.

6 This is the generation of those who seek Him, who seek your face—even Jacob. (Selah)

Sinjalo isizukulwane salabo abamdingayo, abadinga ubuso Bakho, Oh Nkulunkulu kaJakhobe.

7 Lift up your heads, you gates! Be lifted up, you everlasting doors, and the King of glory will come in.

Phakamisani amakhanda enu, lina masango; phakamani, lina minyango yekadeni, ukuba iNkosi yenkazimulo ingene.

8 Who is the King of glory? Yahweh strong and mighty, Yahweh mighty in battle.

Ngubani iNkosi yenkazimulo? NguThixo oqinileyo olamandla, uThixo olamandla empini.

9 Lift up your heads, you gates; yes, lift them up, you everlasting doors, and the King of glory will come in.

Phakamisani amakhanda enu, lina masango; aphakamiseni, lina minyango yekadeni, ukuba iNkosi yenkazimulo ingene.

10 Who is this King of glory? Yahweh of Armies is the King of glory! (Selah)

Ungubani na lowo Thixo wenkazimulo? NguThixo uSomandla iNkosi yenkazimulo.
