Amahubo 46

1 UNkulunkulu uyisiphephelo sethu lamandla ethu, uyatholwa elusizo kakhulu ekuhluphekeni.

For the Chief Musician. By the sons of Korah. According to Alamoth. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

2 Ngenxa yalokhu kasiyikwesaba ekuguqukeni komhlaba, lanxa izintaba zidilikela phakathi kwenlwandle.

Therefore we won’t be afraid, though the earth changes, though the mountains are shaken into the heart of the seas;

3 Amanzi alo kawahlokome, akhaphazele, izintaba zizamazame ngokukhukhumala kwalo. (Sela)

though its waters roar and are troubled, though the mountains tremble with their swelling. (Selah)

4 Kulomfula, izifula zawo zithokozisa umuzi kaNkulunkulu, indawo engcwele yamathabhanekele oPhezukonke.

There is a river, the streams of which make the city of God glad, the holy place of the tents of the Most High.

5 UNkulunkulu uphakathi kwawo, kawuyikunyikinywa; uNkulunkulu uzawusiza ngovivi lokusa.

God is within her. She shall not be moved. God will help her at dawn.

6 Izizwe ziyaxokozela, imibuso izamazame; wakhupha ilizwi lakhe, umhlaba wancibilika.

The nations raged. The kingdoms were moved. He lifted his voice and the earth melted.

7 INkosi yamabandla ilathi, uNkulunkulu kaJakobe uyinqaba yethu. (Sela)

The LORD of Hosts is with us. The God of Jacob is our refuge. (Selah)

8 Wozani libone imisebenzi yeNkosi, incithakalo eyenzileyo emhlabeni.

Come, see the LORD’s works, what desolations he has made in the earth.

9 Yenza izimpi ziphele kuze kube semkhawulweni womhlaba; yephula idandili, iqumaqume umkhonto, itshise izinqola emlilweni.

He makes wars cease to the end of the earth. He breaks the bow, and shatters the spear. He burns the chariots in the fire.

10 Thulani, lazi ukuthi mina nginguNkulunkulu, ngizaphakanyiswa phakathi kwezizwe, ngiphakanyiswe emhlabeni.

“Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted amongst the nations. I will be exalted in the earth.”

11 INkosi yamabandla ilathi, uNkulunkulu kaJakobe uyinqaba yethu. (Sela)

The LORD of Hosts is with us. The God of Jacob is our refuge. (Selah)
