Psalms 97

1 INkosi iyabusa; kawuthokoze umhlaba, kazijabule izihlenge ezinengi.

2 Amayezi lomnyama kuyiphahlile; ukulunga lesahlulelo kuyisisekelo sesihlalo sayo sobukhosi.

3 Umlilo uhamba phambi kwayo, utshisa izitha zayo inhlangothi zonke.

4 Imibane yayo ikhanyisa umhlaba; umhlaba wabona, wathuthumela.

5 Izintaba zancibilika njengengcino phambi kweNkosi, phambi kweNkosi yomhlaba wonke.

6 Amazulu atshumayela ukulunga kwayo, labantu bonke babona inkazimulo yayo.

7 Bayayangeka bonke abakhonza izithombe, abazikhukhumeza ngezithixo; ikhonzeni, lonke bonkulunkulu.

8 IZiyoni yezwa, yathokoza, lamadodakazi akoJuda athaba ngenxa yezahlulelo zakho, Nkosi.

9 Ngoba wena, Nkosi, uphakeme phezu komhlaba wonke, uphakanyiswe kakhulu phezu kwabonkulunkulu bonke.

10 Lina elithanda iNkosi, zondani okubi; iyagcina imiphefumulo yabangcwele bayo, ibakhulule esandleni sababi.

11 Ukukhanya kuhlanyelelwe olungileyo, lentokozo abaqotho ngenhliziyo.

12 Thokozani eNkosini, lina balungileyo, libonge ekukhumbuleni ubungcwele bayo.
