Psalms 112

1 Hallelujah. Happy is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in His commandments.

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

2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth; the generation of the upright shall be blessed.

Abantwabakhe bazaba lamandla elizweni; isizukulwane soqotho sizabusiswa.

3 Wealth and riches are in his house; and his merit endureth for ever.

Inotho lenzuzo kusendlini yakhe, lokulunga kwakhe kumi laphakade.

4 Unto the upright He shineth as a light in the darkness, gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

Lasebumnyameni kuyavela ukukhanya kwabaqotho, emuntwini olomusa, olesihawu lolungileyo.

5 Well is it with the man that dealeth graciously and lendeth, that ordereth his affairs rightfully.

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

6 For he shall never be moved; the righteous shall be had in everlasting remembrance.

Ngeqiniso kayikunyikinyeka; umuntu olungileyo uzakhunjulwa lanininini.

7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings; his heart is stedfast, trusting in the LORD.

Akayikwesaba imibiko emibi; inhliziyo yakhe ichumile, yethembele kuThixo.

8 His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he gaze upon his adversaries.

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

9 He hath scattered abroad, he hath given to the needy; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted in honour.

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

10 The wicked 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.
