1 The LORD reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad thereof .
2 Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne.
3 A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies round about.
4 His lightnings enlightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled.
5 The hills melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
6 The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory.
7 Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: worship him, all ye gods.
8 Zion heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of thy judgments, O LORD.
9 For thou, LORD, art high above all the earth: thou art exalted far above all gods.
10 Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.
11 Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.
12 Rejoice in the LORD, ye righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
Ndzimu mbusi nkulu
1 Yahwe banobusa! Shango ngayishathe,
zwigwizi zose zwe gungwa ngazwishathe!
2 Makole ne zhalima lakati zwititi lakabapoteleka.
Ndulamo ne kutambunuka ndizo thiwa dze tjigalo tjabo tje bushe.
3 Moto wakabatungamila,
unopisa banyanyayidzi babo mbizho dzose dze shango.
4 Lupenyo gwabo govoneka shango yose,
shango inobona ikatetema.
5 Matombo anonyawuka se phola mbeli kwa Yahwe,
mbeli kwa she we shango yose.
6 Kudzimu koleba ngekwe ndulamo yabo,
ne zwitjaba zose zobona gudzo labo.
7 Banamati bezwifano bose banobhatisiwa shoni,
ibabo banozwikudza ngekwe zwifano zwisina nshingo,
midzimu yose inokotamisa misholo mbeli kwabo.
8 Ziyoni inohwa ikashatha,
ne mizi ye Juda inoshatha,
ngekwe kusumikilisa kwenyu, imwi Yahwe.
9 Ngobe imwi Yahwe, mu pezhugwi kwe shango yose,
mokudziwa kwazo kupinda midzimu yose.
10 Yahwe banoda ibabo banobenga bubi,
banotjengeta matjilo e bayengemali babo,
banobagwila mu luboko gwe babi.
11 Tjedza tjopenyela balulwami,
ne shatho kuna bakatambunuka mu moyo.
12 Shathilani Yahwe imwi bakalulwama,
kakale muboke zina labo lakayengemala!
