1 UNkulunkulu uyisiphephelo sethu lamandla ethu, uyatholwa elusizo kakhulu ekuhluphekeni.
For the end, for the sons of Core; a Psalm concerning secret things. God is our refuge and strength, a help in the afflictions that have come heavily upon us.
2 Ngenxa yalokhu kasiyikwesaba ekuguqukeni komhlaba, lanxa izintaba zidilikela phakathi kwenlwandle.
Therefore will we not fear when the earth is troubled, and the mountains are removed into the depths of the seas.
3 Amanzi alo kawahlokome, akhaphazele, izintaba zizamazame ngokukhukhumala kwalo. (Sela)
Their waters have roared and been troubled, the mountains have been troubled by his might. (Pause)
4 Kulomfula, izifula zawo zithokozisa umuzi kaNkulunkulu, indawo engcwele yamathabhanekele oPhezukonke.
The flowings of the river gladden the city of God: the Most High has sanctified his tabernacle.
5 UNkulunkulu uphakathi kwawo, kawuyikunyikinywa; uNkulunkulu uzawusiza ngovivi lokusa.
God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her with his countenance.
6 Izizwe ziyaxokozela, imibuso izamazame; wakhupha ilizwi lakhe, umhlaba wancibilika.
The nations were troubled, the kingdoms tottered: he uttered his voice, the earth shook.
7 INkosi yamabandla ilathi, uNkulunkulu kaJakobe uyinqaba yethu. (Sela)
The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our helper. (Pause)
8 Wozani libone imisebenzi yeNkosi, incithakalo eyenzileyo emhlabeni.
Come, and behold the works of the Lord, what wonders he has achieved on the earth.
9 Yenza izimpi ziphele kuze kube semkhawulweni womhlaba; yephula idandili, iqumaqume umkhonto, itshise izinqola emlilweni.
Putting an end to wars as for the ends of the earth; he will crush the bow, and break in pieces the weapon, and burn the bucklers with fire.
10 Thulani, lazi ukuthi mina nginguNkulunkulu, ngizaphakanyiswa phakathi kwezizwe, ngiphakanyiswe emhlabeni.
Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among 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 helper.
