Amahubo 112

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

Praise ye the Lord. Blessed is the man, that feareth the Lord, and deliteth greatly in his commandements.

2 Abantwabakhe bazaba lamandla elizweni; isizukulwane soqotho sizabusiswa.

His seede shall be mightie vpon earth: the generation of the righteous shall be blessed.

3 Inotho lenzuzo kusendlini yakhe, lokulunga kwakhe kumi laphakade.

Riches and treasures shalbe in his house, and his righteousnesse endureth for euer.

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

Vnto the righteous ariseth light in darkenes: he is merciful and full of copassion and righteous.

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

A good man is mercifull and lendeth, and will measure his affaires by iudgement.

6 Ngeqiniso kayikunyikinyeka; umuntu olungileyo uzakhunjulwa lanininini.

Surely he shall neuer be moued: but the righteous shalbe had in euerlasting remembrance.

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

He will not be afraide of euill tidings: for his heart is fixed, and beleeueth in the Lord.

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

His heart is stablished: therefore he will not feare, vntill he see his desire vpon his enemies.

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

He hath distributed and giuen to ye poore: his righteousnesse remaineth for euer: his horne shalbe exalted with glory.

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

The wicked shall see it and be angrie: he shall gnash with his teeth, and consume away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
