Psalms 92

1 A Melody, a Song, For the Sabbath-day. It is good to give thanks to Yahweh, And to sing praises unto thy Name, O Most High;

Kuhle ukubonga iNkosi, lokuhlabela indumiso ebizweni lakho, wena oPhezukonke;

2 To declare, in the morning, thy lovingkindness, And thy faithfulness at night;

ukutshumayela uthandolomusa wakho ekuseni, lothembeko lwakho ebusuku bonke,

3 Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon a harp, With resounding music on the lyre.

ngechacho elilentambo ezilitshumi, langogubhu lwezintambo, ngechacho elikhala kamnandi.

4 For thou hast made me glad, O Yahweh, in thy doing, In the works of thy hands, will I shout for joy.

Ngoba ungithokozisile, Nkosi, ngomsebenzi wakho; ngizamemeza ngenjabulo ngemisebenzi yezandla zakho.

5 How great have grown thy works, Yahweh, [How] very deep are laid thy plans!

Mikhulu kangakanani imisebenzi yakho, Nkosi! Izikile kakhulu imicabango yakho.

6 A man that is brutish, cannot know, And, a dullard, cannot discern this: —

Isiphukuphuku kasazi, lesithutha kasikuqedisisi lokhu.

7 When the lawless do thrive like grass, And all the workers of iniquity have blossomed, It is that they may be destroyed for ever.

Lapho ababi behluma njengotshani, labo bonke abenzi bobubi bekhahlela, kuyikuze babhujiswe kuze kube phakade.

8 But, thou, shalt be on high age-abidingly, O Yahweh.

Kodwa wena, Nkosi, uphakeme kuze kube nininini.

9 For lo! thine enemies, Yahweh, For lo! thine enemies, shall perish, They shall be scattered—all the workers of iniquity;

Ngoba khangela, izitha zakho, Nkosi, ngoba khangela, izitha zakho zizabhubha; bonke abenzi bobubi bazachitheka.

10 But thou wilt exalt, as [those of] the buffalo, my horn, I have been anointed, with fresh oil.

Kodwa uzaphakamisa uphondo lwami njengolwenyathi; ngizagcotshwa ngamafutha amatsha.

11 So hath mine eye descried them who were lying in wait for me, —Of my wicked assailants, mine ears, shall hear.

Lelihlo lami lizabona isiloyiso sami ezitheni zami, indlebe zami zizakuzwa mayelana lababi abangivukelayo.

12 The righteous, like the palm-tree, shall thrive, Like the cedar in Lebanon, shall he grow;

Olungileyo uzahluma njengesihlahla selala, akhule njengomsedari eLebhanoni.

13 They who are planted in the house of Yahweh, In the courts of our God, shall flourish;

Abahlanyelwe endlini yeNkosi, bazahluma emagumeni kaNkulunkulu wethu.

14 Still shall they bear fruit in old age, Vigorous and fresh, shall they be:

Bazabe belokhu bethela izithelo ebudaleni babo, bakhuluphale babeluhlaza,

15 To declare that upright is Yahweh, My Rock, and no perversity in him.

ukutshumayela ukuthi iNkosi iqondile; ilidwala lami, njalo kakukho ukungalungi kiyo.
