Psalms 112

1 Hallelujah. Happy is the man that feareth the Lord, that greatly delighteth 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 Plenty and riches shall be in his house, and his righteousness shall endure for ever.

Inotho lenzuzo kusendlini yakhe, lokulunga kwakhe kumi laphakade.

4 There ariseth in the darkness a light to the upright: he is gracious, and merciful, and righteous.

Lasebumnyameni kuyavela ukukhanya kwabaqotho, emuntwini olomusa, olesihawu lolungileyo.

5 Well will it be with the man who is kind, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with justice.

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

6 Surely unto eternity shall he not be moved: in everlasting remembrance shall the righteous be held.

Ngeqiniso kayikunyikinyeka; umuntu olungileyo uzakhunjulwa lanininini.

7 Of an evil report shall he not be afraid: his heart is firm, trusting in the Lord.

Akayikwesaba imibiko emibi; inhliziyo yakhe ichumile, yethembele kuThixo.

8 Well supported is his heart, he shall not be afraid, until he looketh on [the punishment of] his assailants.

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

9 He distributeth, he giveth to the needy: his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted in honor.

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 will gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the longing of the wicked shall perish.

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