Psalms 48

Ingoma. Ihubo lamaDodana kaKhora.

1Umkhulu uThixo, ufanele ngokuphindiweyo ukudunyiswa,
emzini kaNkulunkulu wethu, intaba yakhe engcwele.

2Muhle kakhulu ngokuphakama kwakhe,
uyintokozo yomhlaba wonke.
Njengeziqongo zeZafoni injalo intaba iZiyoni,
umuzi weNkosi eNkulu.
3UNkulunkulu usemithangaleni yawo;
ubonisa ukuthi nguye oyinqaba yawo.

4Kwathi lapho amakhosi ehlanganisa izimpi zawo,
lapho ehlasela kanyekanye,
5awubona umuzi lo ethuka
aphaphatheka esetshaywa luvalo.
6Ahle athuthumela khonapho,
ezwa ubuhlungu obuzwiwa ngowesifazane ehelelwa.
7Wena wabatshabalalisa njengemikhumbi yaseThashishi
ibhidlizwa ngumoya wempumalanga.

8Lokho esikuzwileyo
yikho esikubonileyo
emzini kaThixo uSomandla,
emzini kaNkulunkulu wethu:
uNkulunkulu uzawuvikela lanini.

9Phakathi kwethempeli lakho, Oh Nkulunkulu,
siyacabanga ngothando lwakho olungaphuthiyo.
10Njengebizo lakho, Oh Nkulunkulu,
udumo lwakho lufika emikhawulweni yomhlaba;
isandla sakho sokunene sigcwele ukulunga.
11Intaba iZiyoni iyathokoza,
imizi yakoJuda iyathaba
ngezahlulelo zakho.

12Hambahamba eZiyoni, ibhode,
bala izilindo zayo eziphezulu,
13nanzelela kuhle imithangala yayo,
hlola izinqaba zayo,
ukuze ukwazi ukulandisela
isizukulwane esizayo.

14Ngoba uNkulunkulu lo nguNkulunkulu wethu nini lanini;
uzakuba ngumholi wethu lasekupheleni.
