Amahubo 112

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

Praise YAH! [ALEPH-BET] O the blessedness of one fearing YHWH, He has greatly delighted in His commands.

2 Abantwabakhe bazaba lamandla elizweni; isizukulwane soqotho sizabusiswa.

His seed is mighty in the earth, The generation of the upright is blessed.

3 Inotho lenzuzo kusendlini yakhe, lokulunga kwakhe kumi laphakade.

Wealth and riches [are] in his house, And his righteousness is standing forever.

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

Light has risen in darkness to the upright, Gracious, and merciful, and righteous.

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

The man—good, gracious, and lending, He sustains his matters in judgment.

6 Ngeqiniso kayikunyikinyeka; umuntu olungileyo uzakhunjulwa lanininini.

For he is not moved for all time; For the righteous is a continuous memorial.

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

He is not afraid of an evil report, His heart is prepared [and] confident in YHWH.

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

His heart is sustained—he does not fear, Until he looks on his adversaries.

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

He has scattered—has given to the needy, His righteousness is standing forever, His horn is exalted with glory.

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

The wicked sees, and has been angry, He gnashes his teeth, and has melted, The desire of the wicked perishes!
