Psalms 112

1 Alleluia. Of the return of Haggai and Zachariah. Blessed is the man who fears the Lord. He will prefer his commandments exceedingly.

Dumisani uThixo. Ubusisiwe umuntu owesaba uThixo, othokoza kakhulu ngemilayo yakhe.

2 His offspring will be powerful on the earth. The generation of the upright will be blessed.

Abantwabakhe bazaba lamandla elizweni; isizukulwane soqotho sizabusiswa.

3 Glory and wealth will be in his house, and his justice shall remain from age to age.

Inotho lenzuzo kusendlini yakhe, lokulunga kwakhe kumi laphakade.

4 For the upright, a light has risen up in the darkness. He is merciful and compassionate and just.

Lasebumnyameni kuyavela ukukhanya kwabaqotho, emuntwini olomusa, olesihawu lolungileyo.

5 Pleasing is the man who shows mercy and lends. He will order his words with judgment.

Ubuhle buzakwehlela kuye ophanayo loweboleka ekhululekile, oqhuba zonke izinto zakhe ngemfanelo.

6 For he will not be disturbed in eternity.

Ngeqiniso kayikunyikinyeka; umuntu olungileyo uzakhunjulwa lanininini.

7 The just one will be an everlasting memorial. He will not fear a report of disasters. His heart is prepared to hope in the Lord.

Akayikwesaba imibiko emibi; inhliziyo yakhe ichumile, yethembele kuThixo.

8 His heart has been confirmed. He will not be disturbed, until he looks down upon his enemies.

Inhliziyo yakhe ikhululekile, akalakwesaba; ekucineni uzakhangela izitha zakhe ngokunqoba.

9 He has distributed, he has given to the poor. His justice shall remain from age to age. His horn shall be exalted in glory.

Uhlakazele izipho zakhe kubayanga ezindaweni zonke, ukulunga kwakhe kumi laphakade; uphondo lwakhe luzaphakanyiselwa phezulu ngenhlonipho.

10 The sinner will see and become angry. He will gnash his teeth and waste away. The desire of sinners will perish.

Umuntu omubi uzakubona lokhu afuthelane, uzagedla amazinyo akhe, acikizeke emzimbeni; izinkanuko zababi zizaphetha ziyize.
