Psalms 21

1 To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid. The King shall reioyce in thy strength, O Lord: yea how greatly shall he reioyce in thy saluation!

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

2 Thou hast giuen him his hearts desire, and hast not denyed him the request of his lips. (Selah)

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

3 For thou diddest preuent him with liberall blessings, and didest set a crowne of pure gold vpon his head.

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

4 He asked life of thee, and thou gauest him a long life for euer and euer.

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

5 His glory is great in thy saluation: dignitie and honour hast thou laid vpon him.

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

6 For thou hast set him as blessings for euer: thou hast made him glad with the ioy of thy countenance.

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

7 Because the King trusteth in the Lord, and in the mercie of the most High, he shall not slide.

Ngoba inkosi ithembela kuJehova, langomusa woPhezukonke kayiyikunyikinywa.

8 Thine hand shall finde out all thine enemies, and thy right hand shall finde out them that hate thee.

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

9 Thou shalt make them like a fierie ouen in time of thine anger: the Lord shall destroy them in his wrath, and the fire shall deuoure them.

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

10 Their fruite shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seede from the children of men.

Uzachitha isithelo sabo emhlabeni, lenzalo yabo phakathi kwabantwana babantu.

11 For they intended euill against thee, and imagined mischiefe, but they shall not preuaile.

Ngoba bezimisela okubi bemelene lawe, beceba ugobe, bazakwehluleka.

12 Therefore shalt thou put them aparte, and the strings of thy bowe shalt thou make readie against their faces.

Ngoba uzabafulathelisa, ngezintambo zedandili uzalungisa imitshoko imelane lobuso babo.

13 Be thou exalted, O Lord, in thy strength: so will we sing and prayse thy power.

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