Ihubo LikaDavide

7 Ngalolo lusuku uDavide waqala ukuhlela ukuba uSimakade abongwe, kuhola u-Asafa nabafowabo.

8 Bongani uSimakade,

nibize igama lakhe,

nizazise kubantu izenzo zakhe.

9Mhlabeleleni, nimhubele,

nikhulume ngazo zonke izimangaliso zakhe.

10Gabani ngegama lakhe elingcwele;

mazithokoze izinhliziyo zabafuna uSimakade.

11 Mfuneni uSimakade namandla akhe,

nibufunisise njalo ubuso bakhe.

12 Khumbulani izimangaliso zakhe azenzileyo,

izibonakaliso zakhe,

nezehlulelo zomlomo wakhe,

13nina nzalo ka-Israyeli, inceku yakhe,

nina bantwana bakaJakobe,

abakhethiweyo bakhe.

14 Yena unguSimakade uNkulunkulu wethu;

izehlulelo zakhe zisemhlabeni wonke.

15Khumbulani isivumelwano sakhe

kuze kube phakade,

izwi ayala ngalo izizukulwane eziyinkulungwane,

16 isivumelwano asenza no-Abhrahama,

nesifungo sakhe ku-Isaka;

17 wasiqinisa kuJakobe,

saba ngumthetho, naku-Israyeli,

saba yisivumelwano esiphakade,

18 ethi: “Ngizakukunika iKhanani

libe yisabelo sefa lenu,

19 lapho naniseyingcosana ngesibalo,

yebo, naniseyingcosana,

futhi niyizihambi kulo.”

20Bazulazula ezizweni ngezizwe,

besuka kulo mbuso,

beya kwabanye abantu.

21 Akavumelanga muntu ukubacindezela,

wajezisa amakhosi ngenxa yabo,

22 ethi: “Ningabathinti abagcotshiweyo bami,

ningabalimazi abaphrofethi bami.”

23 Hlabelela kuSimakade mhlaba wonke,

memezela izimangaliso zakhe usuku nosuku.

24Landani ngenkazimulo yakhe phakathi kwabezizwe,

izimangaliso zakhe phakathi kwabantu bonke.

25 Ngokuba mkhulu uSimakade,

ufanele ukudunyiswa kakhulu;

uyesabeka ngaphezu kwabo bonke onkulunkulu.

26 Bonke onkulunkulu babezizwe

bayizithombe ezingenamsebenzi,

kepha uSimakade walenza izulu.

27Udumo nobukhosi kusebusweni bakhe;

amandla nokuthokoza kusendaweni yakhe.

28Mnikeni uSimakade nina mindeni yabantu,

mnikeni uSimakade udumo namandla.

29 Mnikeni uSimakade

udumo lwegama lakhe,

nilethe umnikelo,

nize phambi kwakhe,

nikhuleke kuSimakade nihlobe ngobungcwele.

30Thuthumela phambi kwakhe,

mhlaba wonke;

izwe limisiwe,

alinakunyakaziswa.

31 Malijabule izulu,

uthokoze umhlaba;

makuthiwe ezizweni:

“USimakade uyinkosi.”

32 Maluhlokome ulwandle nokugcwala kwalo,

kwename amasimu nakho konke okukuwo.

33Khona imithi yehlathi iyakukhamuluka ngokujabula

phambi kukaSimakade,

ngokuba uyeza uzokwehlulela umhlaba.

34 Bongani uSimakade, ngokuba muhle,

ngokuba umusa wakhe umi phakade.

35 Yishoni nithi:

“Sisindise Nkulunkulu wensindiso yethu,

usiqoqe, usihlenge kwabezizwe,

ukuze sidumise igama lakho elingcwele,

sithokoze ekukudumiseni.”

36 Makabongwe uSimakade uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli,

kusukela phakade kuze kube phakade.

Bonke abantu bathi: “Amen,” bamdumisa uSimakade.
