Amahubo 125

1 Ingoma yemiqanso. Labo abamethembayo uThixo banjengentaba iZiyoni, yona enganyikinyekiyo, emi kuze kube laphakade.

A Song of Degrees. They that trust in the Lord [shall be] as mount Sion: he that dwells in Jerusalem shall never be moved.

2 Njengezintaba ezigombolozele iJerusalema, ngokunjalo uThixo uzungeza abantu bakhe manje kuze kube laphakade.

The mountains are round about her, and [so] the Lord is round about his people, from henceforth and even for ever.

3 Intonga yobukhosi eyababi kayiyikusala ezweni elabelwe abalungileyo, ngoba abalungileyo bangaqabuka sebesebenzisa izandla zabo ukwenza okubi.

For the Lord will not allow the rod of sinners to be upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous should stretch forth their hands to iniquity.

4 Yenza okuhle, awu Thixo, kulabo abalungileyo, kulabo abaqotho enhliziyweni

Do good, O Lord, to them [that are] good, and to them [that are] upright in heart.

5 kodwa labo abaphambukela ezindleleni ezitshekileyo uThixo uzabaxotsha kanye labenzi bobubi. Ukuthula kakube ku-Israyeli.

But them that turn aside to crooked ways the Lord will lead away with the workers of iniquity: [but] peace [shall be] upon Israel.
