Psalms 72

ElikaSolomoni.

1Yiphe inkosi ukwahlulela kwakho, Oh Nkulunkulu,
lokulunga kwakho indodana yesikhosini.
2Uzakwahlulela abantu bakho ngokulunga,
labahluphekayo bakho ngemfanelo.

3Izintaba zizaletha ukuphumelela ebantwini,
lamaqaqa azaletha izithelo zokulunga.
4Uzabavikela abahlukuluzwayo phakathi kwabantu
asindise abantwana balabo abaswelayo
afohloze umncindezeli.
5Uzaphila kokuphela njengelanga,
njengenyanga kuzozonke izizukulwane.
6Uzakuba njengezulu lisina phezu kotshani obugundiweyo,
njengemikhizo ithelezela umhlabathi.
7Ngezinsuku zayo abalungileyo bazaphumelela;
ukuphumelela kuzakwanda inyanga ize itshabalale.

8Uzabusa kusukela elwandle kusiya elwandle,
njalo kusukela eMfuleni kusiya emikhawulweni yomhlaba.
9Izizwe ezihlala enkangala zizakhothama kuye,
izitha zakhe zizakhotha uthuli.
10Amakhosi eThashishi lawemazweni akude
azaletha imithelo kuye;
amakhosi aseShebha leSebha
azayilethela izipho.
11Wonke amakhosi azakhothama kuye
lezizwe zonke zizakhonza kuye.

12Ngoba uzabakhulula abaswelayo abakhalayo kuye,
abahluphekayo abangelamsizi.
13Uzabahawukela ababuthakathaka
labaswelayo asindise abaswelayo ekufeni.
14Uzabahlenga ekuncindezelweni lekuhlukuluzweni,
ngoba igazi labo liligugu kuye.

15Mayibe lempilo ende!
Mayiphiwe igolide laseShebha.
Abantu kabayikhulekele
bayenzele izibusiso ilanga lonke.
16Akuthi amabele ande elizweni lonke;
azunguze eziqongweni zamaqaqa.
Izithelo zalo kazikhihlize njengeLebhanoni;
kaligcwale njengotshani egangeni.
17Sengathi ibizo lakhe lingema njalo laphakade,
kalibe khona lanini nxa lilokhu lisekhona ilanga.

Zonke izizwe zizabusiswa ngaye,
zizakuthi ubusisiwe.


18Udumo alube kuye uThixo uNkulunkulu, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli,
onguye yedwa owenza izinto ezimangalisayo.
19Udumo kalube sebizweni lakhe elingcwele laphakade;
sengathi umhlaba wonke ungagcwala inkazimulo yakhe.
Ameni njalo Ameni.

20Lokhu yikho ukuphetha kwemikhuleko kaDavida indodana kaJese.
