Psalms 83

Ingoma. Ihubo lika-Asafi.

1Oh Nkulunkulu, ungathuli uthi zwi;
ungangincitshi indlebe yakho,
ungameli khatshana lami, Oh Nkulunkulu.
2Akubone ukuthi ziphithizela kanjani izitha zakho,
ukuthi ziwaqaphisa kanganani amakhanda azo.
3Ngobuqili zakhela abantu bakho amacebo;
zisongela labo obathembileyo.
4Bathi, “Wozani kasibabhuqe du njengesizwe,
ukuze ibizo lika-Israyeli lingaphindi likhunjulwe.”

5Nganhliziyonye bawakha amacebo ndawonye;
bayahlangana beme ndawonye ukumelana lawe,
6amathente ase-Edomi lama-Ishumayeli,
awamaMowabi lawamaHagari,
7amaGebhali, lama-Amoni lama-Amaleki,
amaFilistiya labantu beThire.
8Lama-Asiriya asebambene labo
ukuqinisa izizukulwane zikaLothi.

9Yenza kubo njengoba wenza eMidiyani,
njengowakwenza kuSisera loJabhini emfuleni iKhishoni,
10ababhubha e-Endo
baba njengezibi emhlabathini.
11Yenza izikhulu zabo zibe njengo-Orebhi loZebhi,
wonke amakhosana abo abe njengoZebha loZalimuna,
12abathi, “Kasiwathumbe
amadlelo kaNkulunkulu.”

13Benze babe njengenkunkuma, Oh Nkulunkulu wami,
njengamakhoba ephetshulwa ngumoya.
14Njengalokhu umlilo uhangula igusu
kumbe ilangabi lilumathisa izintaba,
15kanjalo basukele ngesivunguvungu sakho
ubethuse ngesiphepho sakho.
16Bahuqe ubuso babo ngehlazo
ukuze abantu balidinge ibizo lakho, Oh Thixo.

17Sengathi bangayangeka lanini badunyazwe;
kungathi bangafa belehlazo.
18Yenza bakwazi ukuthi wena, obizo lakho unguThixo
ukuthi wena wedwa ungoPhezukonke emhlabeni wonke.
