Amahubo 112

1 Dumisani uThixo. Ubusisiwe umuntu owesaba uThixo, othokoza kakhulu ngemilayo yakhe.

Praise ye Jehovah. Blessed is the man that feareth Jehovah, That delighteth greatly in his commandments.

2 Abantwabakhe bazaba lamandla elizweni; isizukulwane soqotho sizabusiswa.

His seed shall be mighty upon earth: The generation of the upright shall be blessed.

3 Inotho lenzuzo kusendlini yakhe, lokulunga kwakhe kumi laphakade.

Wealth and riches are in his house; And his righteousness endureth for ever.

4 Lasebumnyameni kuyavela ukukhanya kwabaqotho, emuntwini olomusa, olesihawu lolungileyo.

Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: [He is] gracious, and merciful, and righteous.

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

Well is it with the man that dealeth graciously and lendeth; He shall maintain his cause in judgment.

6 Ngeqiniso kayikunyikinyeka; umuntu olungileyo uzakhunjulwa lanininini.

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

7 Akayikwesaba imibiko emibi; inhliziyo yakhe ichumile, yethembele kuThixo.

He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: His heart is fixed, trusting in Jehovah.

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

His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, Until he see [his desire] upon his adversaries.

9 Uhlakazele izipho zakhe kubayanga ezindaweni zonke, ukulunga kwakhe kumi laphakade; uphondo lwakhe luzaphakanyiselwa phezulu ngenhlonipho.

He hath dispersed, he hath given to the needy; His righteousness endureth for ever: His horn shall be exalted with honor.

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

The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; He shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: The desire of the wicked shall perish.
