Psalms 112

1 Alleluia. Blessed is the man that fears the Lord: he will delight greatly in his commandments.

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

2 His seed shall be mighty in the earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.

Inzalo yakhe izakuba lamandla emhlabeni; isizukulwana sabaqotho sizabusiswa.

3 Glory and riches shall be in his house; and his righteousness endures for evermore.

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

4 To the upright light has sprung up in darkness: he is pitiful, and merciful, and righteous.

Kuyabaphumela abaqotho ukukhanya emnyameni; ilomusa lesihawu lokulunga.

5 The good man is he that pities and lends: he will direct his affairs with judgment.

Umuntu olungileyo ngolesisa lowebolekisayo, wenza izindaba zakhe ngokulunga.

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

Ngoba kayikunyikinywa phakade; olungileyo uzakuba sekukhunjulweni kuze kube nininini.

7 He shall not be afraid of [any] evil report: his heart is ready to trust in the Lord.

Kayikwesaba umbiko omubi, inhliziyo yakhe iqinile, ithemba eNkosini.

8 His heart is established, he shall not fear, till he shall see [his desire] upon his enemies.

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

9 He has dispersed abroad; he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures for evermore: his horn shall be exalted with honor.

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

10 The sinner shall see and be angry, he shall gnash his teeth, and consume away: the desire of the sinner shall perish.

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