Psalms 97
1 The Lord reigneth: let the earth reioyce: let the multitude of the yles be glad.
INkosi iyabusa; kawuthokoze umhlaba, kazijabule izihlenge ezinengi.
2 Cloudes and darkenes are round about him: righteousnesse and iudgement are the foundation of his throne.
Amayezi lomnyama kuyiphahlile; ukulunga lesahlulelo kuyisisekelo sesihlalo sayo sobukhosi.
3 There shall goe a fire before him, and burne vp his enemies round about.
Umlilo uhamba phambi kwayo, utshisa izitha zayo inhlangothi zonke.
4 His lightnings gaue light vnto the worlde: the earth sawe it and was afraide.
Imibane yayo ikhanyisa umhlaba; umhlaba wabona, wathuthumela.
5 The mountaines melted like waxe at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
Izintaba zancibilika njengengcino phambi kweNkosi, phambi kweNkosi yomhlaba wonke.
6 The heauens declare his righteousnes, and all the people see his glory.
Amazulu atshumayela ukulunga kwayo, labantu bonke babona inkazimulo yayo.
7 Confounded be all they that serue grauen images, and that glory in idoles: worship him all ye gods.
Bayayangeka bonke abakhonza izithombe, abazikhukhumeza ngezithixo; ikhonzeni, lonke bonkulunkulu.
8 Zion heard of it, and was glad: and the daughters of Iudah reioyced, because of thy iudgements, O Lord.
IZiyoni yezwa, yathokoza, lamadodakazi akoJuda athaba ngenxa yezahlulelo zakho, Nkosi.
9 For thou, Lord, art most High aboue all the earth: thou art much exalted aboue all gods.
Ngoba wena, Nkosi, uphakeme phezu komhlaba wonke, uphakanyiswe kakhulu phezu kwabonkulunkulu bonke.
10 Ye that loue the Lord, hate euill: he preserueth the soules of his Saints: hee will deliuer them from the hand of the wicked.
Lina elithanda iNkosi, zondani okubi; iyagcina imiphefumulo yabangcwele bayo, ibakhulule esandleni sababi.
11 Light is sowen for the righteous, and ioy for the vpright in heart.
Ukukhanya kuhlanyelelwe olungileyo, lentokozo abaqotho ngenhliziyo.
12 Reioyce ye righteous in the Lord, and giue thankes for his holy remembrance.
Thokozani eNkosini, lina balungileyo, libonge ekukhumbuleni ubungcwele bayo.
