IHubo 68:1-35
Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Ihubo likaDavida. Ingoma.
68 Kwangathi uNkulunkulu angaphakama, izitha zakhe zisabalale,Kwangathi labo abamzondayo bangabaleka phambi kwakhe.+
2 Baxotshele khatshana njengentuthu iphetshulwa ngumoya.
Ababi kabatshabalale phambi kukaNkulunkulu,+Njengengcino incibilikiswa ngumlilo.
3 Kodwa abalungileyo kabathokoze,+Kabajabule phambi kukaNkulunkulu,Bamemeze ngentokozo.
4 Hlabelelani uNkulunkulu, hlabelani lidumise ibizo lakhe.+
Mhlabeleleni lowo odabula enkangala.*
Ibizo lakhe nguJah!*+ Thokozani phambi kwakhe!
5 UNkulunkulu usendaweni yakhe engcwele,+Ngubaba wezintandane lomvikeli wabafelokazi.*+
6 UNkulunkulu ubanika indawo yokuhlala labo abangelamuntu ongabanceda.+
Uyazikhulula izibotshwa azenze ziphumelele,+Kodwa abalenkani* bazahlala elizweni elomileyo.+
7 Awu Nkulunkulu, wathi ukhokhela abantu bakho+Udabula enkangala, (Selah)
8 Umhlaba wazamazama,+Lezulu lathululeka ngenxa kaNkulunkulu.
ISinayi le yanyikinyeka ngenxa kaNkulunkulu, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli.+
9 Wanisa izulu elikhulu, awu Nkulunkulu,Wabanika amandla abantu bakho abasebediniwe.
10 Babehlala ematendeni akho.+
Wabanakekela abaswelayo Nkulunkulu ngenxa yokuthi umuhle.
11 UJehova unika abantu bakhe umlayo,Abesifazana abamemezela izindaba ezinhle balibutho elikhulu.+
12 Amakhosi lamabutho awo ayabaleka,+ ayasibathela!
Lowesifazana osele ngekhaya uyayiphiwa impahla ethunjiweyo.+
13 Lanxa lina madoda lalilala libase imililo enkambeni,*Lizabamba ijuba elilempiko zesiliva,Lensiba zegolide elihlambulukileyo.
14 USomandla wathi esabalalisa amakhosi ayeselizweni,+Kwakhithika ungqwaqwane* eZalimoni.
15 Intaba yeBhashani+ yintaba kaNkulunkulu,*Intaba yeBhashani ileziqongo ezinengi.
16 Kungani lilomhawu lina zintaba ezileziqongo?
Kungani lilomhawu ngentaba uNkulunkulu akhethe ukuhlala kuyo?+
UJehova uzahlala kuyo kuze kube nini lanini.+
17 Inqola zikaNkulunkulu zingamatshumi ezinkulungwane, zizinkulungwane zezinkulungwane.+
UJehova ufike endaweni yakhe engcwele evela eSinayi.+
18 Wena waqansa waya phezulu,+Wathumba abantu.
Wathatha abantu baba yizipho,+Wathatha lalabo abalenkani+ ukuze uhlale phakathi kwabo, awu Jah Nkulunkulu.
19 Kadunyiswe uJehova, yena osithwalela imithwalo yethu+ nsuku zonke,Yena unguNkulunkulu weqiniso osisindisayo. (Selah)
20 UNkulunkulu weqiniso ungumsindisi wethu,+UJehova iNkosi Enkulu uyasikhulula ekufeni.+
21 UNkulunkulu uzachoboza amakhanda ezitha zakhe,Uzachoboza ikhanda laloba ngubani ongafuni ukutshiya izono zakhe.+
22 UJehova uthi: “Ngizabaphendukisa bevela eBhashani,+Ngibakhiphe enzikini yolwandle,
23 Ukuze inyawo zakho zigcwale igazi lezitha zakho,+Lezinja zakho zixhaphe igazi lezitha.”
24 Bayababona abantu bakho beludwendwe awu Nkulunkulu,Bayababona abantu bakaNkulunkulu wami, iNkosi yami, bengena endaweni engcwele.+
25 Abahlabeleli bahamba phambili, ngemuva kulabatshaya iziginci.+
Phakathi laphakathi kwabo kulezintombi ezitshaya amathamborini.+
26 Dumisani uNkulunkulu liphakathi kwamaxuku abantu.
Dumisani uJehova lina elidabuka ko-Israyeli.+
27 UBhenjamini+ onguye omncinyane uyabanqoba,Elabakhokheli bakoJuda abalexuku elimemezayo,Kanye labakhokheli bakoZebhuloni labakoNafithali.
28 UNkulunkulu wakho ukhethe ukukunika amandla.
Tshengisa amandla akho Nkulunkulu, wena osincedisayo.+
29 Amakhosi azakuphathela izipho+Ngenxa yethempeli lakho eliseJerusalema.+
30 Nqanda izinyamazana zeganga ezihlala emihlangeni,Uthinte lomhlambi wenkomo+ lamathole azo,Kuze kube yilapho abantu bekhothama beletha isiliva.
Kodwa uNkulunkulu uzazichithachitha izizwe ezithanda impi.
31 Izitsha zekhopha zizalethwa zivela* eGibhithe,+AbaseKhushi bazabuya masinyane bezonikela izipho kuNkulunkulu.
32 Hlabelelani uNkulunkulu lina mibuso yomhlaba,+Hlabelani lidumise uJehova, (Selah)
33 Hlabelelani lowo ophezu kwamazulu aphakemeyo ayekhona kusukela kudala.+
Uyakhwaza ngelizwi lakhe elilamandla.
34 Vumani ukuthi uNkulunkulu ulamandla.+
Uyabusa ko-Israyeli,Amandla akhe ayakhanya esibhakabhakeni.*
35 UNkulunkulu uyamangalisa nxa ephuma endaweni yakhe engcwele.+
UnguNkulunkulu wako-Israyeli,Uyabaqinisa abantu abenze babe lamandla.+
Kadunyiswe uNkulunkulu.
