AmaHubo 97

1UThixo uyabusa, umhlaba kawuthokoze;

akuthi amakhumbi akude ajabule.

2Amayezi lomnyama omkhulu kumsibekele;

ukulunga lokwahlulela kuhle kuyisisekelo sesihlalo Sakhe sobukhosi.

3Umlilo uhamba phambi Kwakhe

uzihangule izitha zakhe inxa zonke.

4Umbane wakhe ukhanyisa umhlaba;

umhlaba ukubone lokho uthuthumele.

5Izintaba zincibilika njengengcino phambi kukaThixo,

phambi kweNkosi yomhlaba wonke.

6Amazulu amemezela ukulunga kwayo,

labantu bonke bayayibona inkazimulo yayo.

7Bonke abakhonza izifanekiso bathelwa ihlazo,

labo abazikhukhumeza ngezithombe

mkhonzeni, lonke lina bonkulunkulu!

8IZiyoni iyezwa ithokoze

lemizi yakoJuda iyajabula

ngenxa yokwahlulela Kwakho, Oh Thixo.

9Ngoba wena, Oh Thixo ungoPhezukonke kuwo wonke umhlaba;

uphakeme ngaphezulu kakhulu kwabonkulunkulu bonke.

10Akuthi bonke abamthandayo, uThixo, bazonde okubi,

ngoba uyazilinda impilo zabathembekileyo bakhe

abakhulule esandleni sababi.

11Ukukhanya kuyehliselwa kwabalungileyo

lentokozo kwabaqotho enhliziyweni.

12Thokozani kuThixo lina elilungileyo,

lidumise ibizo lakhe elingcwele.
