IHubo 83:1-18
Ingoma. Ihubo lika-Asafi.+
83 Awu Nkulunkulu ungathuli.+
Ungaqhubeki uthule ungenzi lutho, awu Nkulunkulu,
2 Ngoba izitha zakho ziyaxokozela,+Labo abakuzondayo bayaziphakamisa.
3 Babumba amacebo obuqili befuna ukuhlasela abantu bakho,Bayacebisana ukuthi bahlasele abantu bakho abaligugu.*
4 Bathi: “Buyani sitshabalalise isizwe sabo,+Ukuze ibizo labako-Israyeli lingaphindi likhunjulwe.”
5 Babumba icebo lokuhlasela bendawonye,Bayahlangana* ukuze balwe lawe,+
6 Abako-Edomi, lama-Ishmayeli, labakoMowabi,+ lamaHagari,+
7 LamaGebhali, lama-Amoni,+ lama-Amaleki,LamaFilisti+ kanye lalabo abahlala eThire.+
8 Ama-Asiriya+ lawo asemanyane labo,Bancedisa amadodana kaLothi.+ (Selah)
9 Yenza kubo lokho owakwenza kuMidiyani,+Lokho owakwenza kuSisera loJabhini emfuleni uKhishoni.+
10 Babulawa e-Eni-dori,+Baba ngumquba emhlabathini.
11 Yenza izikhulu zabo zibe njengo-Orebhi loZebhi,+Wenze amakhosana abo abe* njengoZebha loZalimuna,+
12 Ngoba bathi: “Asilithatheni ilizwe uNkulunkulu ahlala kulo.”
13 Awu Nkulunkulu wami, benze babe njengesihlahlakazana sameva,+Babe njengamahlanga aphetshulwa ngumoya.
14 Njengomlilo otshisa iganga,Lanjengelangabi elihangula izintaba,+
15 Baxotshanise ngesiphepho sakho,+Ubethuse ngomoya olamandla.+
16 Bayangise babe lenhloni,Ukuze balidinge ibizo lakho, awu Jehova.
17 Kabayangeke njalo besabe kuze kube nini lanini.
Kwangathi bangaba lehlazo batshabalale.
18 Kwangathi abantu bangakwazi ukuthi wena obizo lakho unguJehova,+Nguwe wedwa oPhezukonke emhlabeni wonke.+
