Amahubo 125

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

[A Song of Ascents.] Those who trust in YHWH are as Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but remains forever.

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

As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so YHWH surrounds his people from this time forth and forevermore.

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

For the scepter of wickedness won't remain over the allotment of the righteous; so that the righteous won't use their hands to do evil.

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

Do good, YHWH, to those who are good, to those who are upright in their hearts.

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

But as for those who turn aside to their crooked ways, YHWH will lead them away with evildoers. Peace be on Israel.
