Psalms 112

1 Hallelujah! Blessed is the man that feareth Jehovah, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.

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

2 His seed shall be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright shall be blessed.

Abantwabakhe bazaba lamandla elizweni; isizukulwane soqotho sizabusiswa.

3 Wealth and riches [shall be] in his house; and his righteousness abideth for ever.

Inotho lenzuzo kusendlini yakhe, lokulunga kwakhe kumi laphakade.

4 Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness; he is gracious, and merciful, and righteous.

Lasebumnyameni kuyavela ukukhanya kwabaqotho, emuntwini olomusa, olesihawu lolungileyo.

5 It is well with the man that is gracious and lendeth; he will sustain his cause in judgment.

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

6 For he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

Ngeqiniso kayikunyikinyeka; umuntu olungileyo uzakhunjulwa lanininini.

7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings; his heart is fixed confiding in Jehovah;

Akayikwesaba imibiko emibi; inhliziyo yakhe ichumile, yethembele kuThixo.

8 His heart is maintained, he is not afraid, until he see [his desire] upon his oppressors.

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

9 He scattereth abroad, he giveth to the needy; his righteousness abideth for ever: his horn shall be exalted with honour.

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

10 The wicked [man] shall see [it] and be vexed; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.

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