Psalms 68

Kumqondisi wokuhlabelela. ElikaDavida. Ihubo. Ingoma.

1UNkulunkulu kaphakame, izitha zakhe azihlakazwe;
izitha zakhe azimbalekele.
2Njengentuthu iphetshulwa ngumoya lawe baphephulele kude;
njengengcino encibilikiswa ngumlilo,
ababi kababhubhe phambi kukaNkulunkulu.
3Kodwa sekungathi abalungileyo bangajabula
bathokoze phambi kukaNkulunkulu;
sengathi bangathaba bathokoze.

4Hlabelelani kuNkulunkulu,
hlabelelani indumiso ebizweni lakhe,
mphakamiseni yena ohlezi phezu kwamayezi
lithokoze phambi kwakhe obizo lakhe nguThixo.
5Uyise wezintandane, umlamuleli wabafelokazi,
nguNkulunkulu emzini wakhe ongcwele.
6UNkulunkulu uyabalungisela indawo ezimulini labo abalesizungu,
ukhokhela izibotshwa ngokuhlabela;
kodwa abahlamuki bahlala elizweni elomileyo.

7Kwathi lapho ukhokhela abantu bakho, Oh Nkulunkulu,
lapho wawudabula elizweni eliyinkangala,
8umhlaba wanyikinyeka, umkhathi walithulula izulu,
phambi kukaNkulunkulu, onguYena oweSinayi,
phambi kukaNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli.
9Wanisa izulu elinengi, Oh Nkulunkulu;
wavuselela ilifa lakho elaselikhathele.
10Abantu bakho bahlala kulo bazinza,
kwathi ngokuphana kwakho Nkulunkulu,
wabaphakela abangabayanga.

11INkosi yalikhupha ilizwi,
kwaba labanengi kakhulu abalimemezelayo besithi,
12“Makhosi lamabutho phangisani libaleke;
ezihonqweni amakhosikazi abelana impango.
13Khonapho lisalele phakathi kwemililo yezihonqo,
impiko zejuba lami zihuqiwe ngesiliva,
izinsiba zalo ngegolide elikhazimulayo.”
14Lapho uSomandla wawahlakaza amakhosi elizwe,
kwakunjengongqwaqwane eqoqene phezu kweZalimoni.

15Izintaba zeBhashani yizintaba ezilesithunzi;
zilezindongandonga izintaba zaseBhashani.
16Kungani linyonkoloza ngomona,
lina zintaba ezindongandonga,
leyontaba uNkulunkulu akhetha ukubusa kuyo,
lapho uThixo ngokwakhe uzahlala khona lanini?
17Izinqola zikaNkulunkulu zingamatshumi ezinkulungwane;
lezinkulungwane zezinkulungwane;
iNkosi isifikile ivela eSinayi yangena endlini yayo engcwele.
18Wathi ekukhuphukeni kwakho uqansa,
wakhokhela abathunjiweyo;
wemukela izipho ebantwini,
lakulabo abahlamukayo
ukuze wena, Oh Thixo Nkulunkulu, uhlale khona.

19Udumo kalube kuThixo, kuNkulunkulu uMsindisi wethu,
othwala imithwalo yethu insuku zonke.
20UNkulunkulu wethu nguNkulunkulu osindisayo;
kuThixo wobukhosi kuvela ukuphepha ekufeni.
21Ngeqiniso uNkulunkulu uzawachoboza amakhanda ezitha zakhe,
imiqhele eloboya yalabo abaqhubekayo ngezono zabo.
22INkosi ithi, “Ngizabaletha besuka eBhashani;
ngizabaletha besuka ekujuleni kolwandle,
23ukuze ligxamuze inyawo zenu egazini lezitha zenu,
lezilimi zezinja zenu zibe lesabelo sazo.”

24Udwendwe lwakho Nkulunkulu seluqhamuka, yebo
udwendwe lukaNkulunkulu wami leNkosi
lungena endlini engcwele.
25Phambili ngabahlabeleli, kulandele abamachacho;
phakathi kwabo kulamantombazana atshaya amagedla.
26Dumisani uNkulunkulu ebandleni elikhulu;
dumisani uThixo embuthanweni ka-Israyeli.
27Masinyane isizwana sakoBhenjamini sibakhokhele,
nantiyana ixuku elikhulu lamakhosana kaJuda,
njalo nankayana amakhosana kaZebhuluni lakaNafithali.

28Veza amandla akho, Oh Nkulunkulu,
sitshengise amandla akho Nkulunkulu,
njengowakwenza endulo.
29Ngenxa yethempeli lakho eliseJerusalema
amakhosi azakulethela izipho.
30Khuza isilo esiphakathi kwemihlanga
umhlambi wenkunzi phakathi kwamathole ezizwe.
Sezithotshisiwe kazilethe izibhebhedu zesiliva.
Hlakaza izizwe ezithokoza ngempi.
31Amanxusa azavela eGibhithe;
iKhushi izazithoba kuNkulunkulu.

32Hlabelelani kuNkulunkulu, awu lina mibuso yomhlaba,
hlabelelani indumiso kuThixo,
33kuye ohlala phezu kwesibhakabhaka sekadeni,
okhwaza ngelizwi elikhulu.
34Fakazani ngamandla kaNkulunkulu,
obukhosi bakhe buphezu kuka-Israyeli;
omandla akhe asesibhakabhakeni.
35Uyamangalisa, Oh Nkulunkulu, usendlini yakho engcwele;
uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli upha amandla ebantwini bakhe.

Indumiso kayibe kuNkulunkulu!
