Amahubo 21

1 Jehova, inkosi izajabula emandleni akho, lesindisweni lwakho izathaba kangakanani!

For the end, a Psalm of David. O Lord, the king shall rejoice in your strength; and in your salvation he shall greatly exult.

2 Uyinikile isifiso senhliziyo yayo, kawuyincitshanga isicelo sendebe zayo. (Sela)

You have granted him the desire of his soul, and have not withheld from him the request of his lips. (Pause)

3 Ngoba uyihlangabeze ngezibusiso zokuhle, wayethwesa umqhele wegolide elihle ekhanda layo.

For you have prevented him with blessings of goodness: you has set upon his head a crown of precious stone.

4 Yacela impilo kuwe, wayinika yona, ubude bezinsuku kuze kube nini lanini.

He asked life of you, and you gave him length of days for ever and ever.

5 Lukhulu udumo lwayo ekusindiseni kwakho, inkazimulo lobukhosi wakubeka phezu kwayo.

His glory is great in your salvation: you will crown him with glory and majesty.

6 Ngoba uyenze yabusiseka kakhulu kuze kube nininini, uyayithokozisa ngenjabulo ebukhoneni bakho.

For you will give him a blessing for ever and ever: you will gladden him with joy with your countenance.

7 Ngoba inkosi ithembela kuJehova, langomusa woPhezukonke kayiyikunyikinywa.

For the king trusts in the Lord, and through the mercy of the Highest he shall not be moved.

8 Isandla sakho sizazithola zonke izitha zakho, lesandla sakho sokunene sizabathola labo abakuzondayo.

Let your hand be found by all your enemies: let your right hand find all that hate you.

9 Uzabenza babe njengesithando somlilo esikhathini solaka lwakho. INkosi izabaginya ekuthukutheleni kwayo, lomlilo uzabaqothula.

You shall make them as a fiery oven at the time of your presence: the Lord shall trouble them in his anger, and fire shall devour them.

10 Uzachitha isithelo sabo emhlabeni, lenzalo yabo phakathi kwabantwana babantu.

You shall destroy their fruit from the earth, and their seed from [among] the sons of men.

11 Ngoba bezimisela okubi bemelene lawe, beceba ugobe, bazakwehluleka.

For they intended evils against you; they imagined a device which they shall by no means be able to perform.

12 Ngoba uzabafulathelisa, ngezintambo zedandili uzalungisa imitshoko imelane lobuso babo.

For you shall make them [turn their] back in your latter end, you will prepare their face.

13 Phakama, Nkosi, ngamandla akho! Sizahlabela sidumise amandla akho.

Be you exalted, O Lord, in your strength: we will sing and praise your mighty acts.
