Psalms 92
1 Yahweh, it is good for people to thank you and to sing to praise you [MTY] who are greater than any other god.
Ihubo. Ingoma. Elosuku lweSabatha. Kuhle ukudumisa uThixo lokuhlabelela ebizweni lakho, wena oPhezukonke,
2 It is good to proclaim every morning that you faithfully love us, and each night [to sing songs that] declare that you always do what you have promised to do,
ukumemezela uthando lwakho ekuseni lokuthembeka kwakho ebusuku,
3 accompanied by [musicians playing] harps that have ten strings, and by the sounds made by a lyre.
ukutshaya iziginci ngomhubhe wezintambo ezilitshumi lemvungamo emnandi yechacho.
4 Yahweh, you have caused me to be glad; I sing joyfully because of what you [SYN] have done.
Ngoba uyangijabulisa ngezenzo zakho, Oh Thixo; ngihlala ngentokozo ngomsebenzi wezandla zakho.
5 Yahweh, the things that you do are great! But it is difficult for us to understand [all] that you think.
Mikhulu kangaka imisebenzi yakho, Oh Thixo, izikile imicabango yakho!
6 There are things [that you do] that foolish people cannot know about, things that stupid people cannot understand.
Umuntu ongelangqondo akazi, iziwula kazizwisisi,
7 They do not understand that although the number of wicked [people] increases [like blades of] grass do [SIM], and they prosper, they will be completely destroyed.
ukuthi loba ababi bemila njengotshani lezigangi zonke ziphumelela, zizabhujiswa nini lanini.
8 But Yahweh, you [will] exalted/be honored/rule) forever.
Kodwa wena Thixo, uphakeme laphakade.
9 Yahweh, your enemies will [certainly] die, and those who do wicked things will be defeated/scattered.
Ngoba ngempela izitha zakho, Oh Thixo, ngempela izitha zakho zizabhubha; zonke izigangi zizachithizwa.
10 But you have caused me to be as strong [MTY] as [SIM] a wild ox; you have caused me to be very joyful [MTY].
Uluphakamisile uphondo lwami njengolwenyathi; ngagcotshwa ngamakha amnandi.
11 I [SYN] have seen you defeat my enemies; d I have heard those evil men wail/scream while they were being slaughtered.
Amehlo ami abonile ukwehlulwa kwezitha zami; indlebe zami zizwile ngokuchithizwa kwezitha zami ezimbi.
12 But righteous [people] will prosper like [SIM] palm trees that grow well, or like [SIM] cedar [trees] that grow in Lebanon.
Abalungileyo bazaqhela njengesihlahla selala, bazakhula njengomsedari waseLebhanoni;
13 [They are like the trees] that grow near the temple of Yahweh [in Jerusalem], those trees that are close to the courtyard of the temple of our God.
ngoba behlanyelwe endlini kaThixo, bazaqhela emagumeni kaNkulunkulu wethu.
14 [Even] when righteous people become old, they do many things [IDM] [that please God]. They remain strong and full of energy, [like trees that] [MET] remain full of sap.
Bazabe belokhu bethela izithelo lanxa sebebadala, bazahlala belokhu behluma beluhlaza,
15 That shows that Yahweh is just; he is [like a huge] rock [under which I am safe/protected], and he never does anything that is wicked/wrong.
bememezela besithi, “UThixo uqotho; uliDwala lami, kakukho bubi kuye.”
