Psalms 112

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

Dumisani iNkosi! Ubusisiwe umuntu oyesabayo iNkosi, othokoza kakhulu ngemithetho yayo.

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

Inzalo yakhe izakuba lamandla emhlabeni; isizukulwana sabaqotho sizabusiswa.

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

Imfuyo lenotho kuzakuba sendlini yakhe, lokulunga kwakhe kuzakuma kuze kube nininini.

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

Kuyabaphumela abaqotho ukukhanya emnyameni; ilomusa lesihawu lokulunga.

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

Umuntu olungileyo ngolesisa lowebolekisayo, wenza izindaba zakhe ngokulunga.

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

Ngoba kayikunyikinywa phakade; olungileyo uzakuba sekukhunjulweni kuze kube nininini.

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

Kayikwesaba umbiko omubi, inhliziyo yakhe iqinile, ithemba eNkosini.

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

Isekelwe inhliziyo yakhe, kayikwesaba, aze abone isiloyiso sakhe phezu kwezitha zakhe.

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

Uhlakazile, uyabanika abayanga; ukulunga kwakhe kumi kuze kube nininini; uphondo lwakhe luzaphakanyiswa ngodumo.

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.

Omubi uyakubona, athukuthele; agedle amazinyo akhe, ancibilike; isifiso sababi sizabhubha.
