IRhubo
Kumnqophisi. Irhubo lakaDavida. Ingoma.
68 UZimu akasikime, amanabakhe akarhatjheke,
Labo abamhloyako ababaleke phambi kwakhe.+
2 Njengentuthu ephembethwa mumoya, kwanga ungabaphembetha;
Abakhohlakeleko ababhubhe phambi kwakaZimu,
Njengalokha amafutha weliju arhadzileko ancibilika phambi komlilo.+
4 Bhinelani uZimu; bhinelani igama lakhe iindumiso.+
Bhinelani Loyo odlula emmangweni othabaleleko.*
Igama lakhe nguJah!*+ Thabani phambi kwakhe!
Kodwana abanekani* kufuze bahlale enarheni eyomileko.+
7 Maye! Zimu, lokha nawurhola abantu bakho,+
Lokha nawumatjha erhalawumbeni, (Sela)
8 Iphasi lasikinyeka;+
Izulu lana ngebanga lakaZimu;
ISinayi le yasikinyeka ngebanga lakaZimu, uZimu ka-Israyeli.+
9 Maye! Zimu, wenze bona kune umvimbi;
Wavuselela abantu bakho abadiniweko.*
10 Bahlala ekampenakho yamatende;+
Maye! Zimu, ngobuhle bakho, wondla abadududu.
12 Amakhosi wamabutho ayabaleka,+ ayabaleka!
Umfazi osala ekhaya ufumana ingcenye yepahla ethunjiweko.+
13 Ngitjho nanyana nina bantu benilala hlangana nomlilo osekampeni,*
Nizokufumana ijuba elinamaphiko alekwe ngesiliva,
Nelinamasiba wegolide ecwengiweko.
15 Intaba yeBhatjhani+ yintaba kaZimu;
Intaba yeBhatjhani yintaba yeenqongolo.
16 Kubayini niqala ngelihlo elinomona nina ntaba zeenqongolo,
Niqala intaba uZimu akhethe ukuhlala kiyo?+
Nangambala, uJehova uzokuhlala khona ngokungapheliko.+
17 Iinkarana zepi zakaZimu zimatjhumi weenkulungwana, iinkulungwana phezu kweenkulungwana.+
UJehova uze endawenakhe ecwengileko avela eSinayi.+
Wathatha iinthunjwa;
Wathatha izipho ezibabantu,+
Maye! Jah Zimu, ngitjho nabanekani,+ bona uhlale hlangana nabo.
19 Akadunyiswe uJehova, osithwalela imithwalwethu qobe langa,+
UZimu weqiniso wesindiswethu. (Sela)
22 UJehova uthe: “Ngizobabuyisa eBhatjhani;+
Ngizobabuyisa ekuzikeni kwelwandle,
23 Ukwenzela bona inyawo lakho limanziswe ziingazi+
Nelimu lezinja zakho likhothe iingazi zamanaba.”
24 Maye! Zimu, babona imijeje yabantu bakho,
Imijeje yabantu bakho Zimami, Kosami, endaweni ecwengileko.+
25 Ababhini bakhamba phambili, ababetha iinliliso zesinara bayabalandela;+
Phakathi kunabantazana abaphethe abosotjherere.+
26 Dumisani uZimu ebandleni elikhulu;
Dumisani uJehova nina abavela eMthonjeni ka-Israyeli.+
27 Lapho uBhenjamini+ ongomncani kunabo boke, uyabahlula,
Namakhosana wakwaJuda nesiqubuthu sawo esinetjhada,
Amakhosana wakwaZebuloni, amakhosana wakwaNafitali.
28 UZimakho umemezele ukuthi uzokuba namandla.
Maye! Zimu, veza amandlakho njengombana ukhe wenza ngaphambilini.+
30 Khalima iimbandana zomhlanga,
Isiqubuthu seenkunzi+ namakonyanazo,
Bekube kulapho iintjhaba zikhothama ziletha* izinto zesiliva.
Kodwana uphadlhalaja iintjhaba ezithatjiswa yipi.
32 Maye! Mibuso yephasi, bhinelani uZimu,+
Bhinelani uJehova iindumiso, (Sela)
33 Kiloyo okhwele izulu lezulu lekadeni.+
Qala! Iphimbo lakhe liduma njengezulu, iphimbo lakhe elinamandla.
34 Vumani ukuthi uZimu unamandla.+
Ubukhosi bakhe buphezu kwaka-Israyeli
Namandlakhe asemafini.
35 UZimu uyababazeka endawenakhe ecwengileko ekulu.+
UnguZimu ka-Israyeli,
Onikela abantu amandla.+
Akadunyiswe uZimu.
