Amahubo 92

1 Ihubo. Ingoma. Elosuku lweSabatha. Kuhle ukudumisa uThixo lokuhlabelela ebizweni lakho, wena oPhezukonke,

A Psalm of a Song for the Sabbath-day. It is a good thing to give thanks to the Lord, and to sing praises to your name, O you Most High;

2 ukumemezela uthando lwakho ekuseni lokuthembeka kwakho ebusuku,

to proclaim your mercy in the morning, and your truth by night,

3 ukutshaya iziginci ngomhubhe wezintambo ezilitshumi lemvungamo emnandi yechacho.

on a lute of ten strings, with a song on the harp.

4 Ngoba uyangijabulisa ngezenzo zakho, Oh Thixo; ngihlala ngentokozo ngomsebenzi wezandla zakho.

For you, O Lord, have made me glad with your work: and in the operations of your hands will I exult.

5 Mikhulu kangaka imisebenzi yakho, Oh Thixo, izikile imicabango yakho!

How have your works been magnified, O Lord! your thoughts are very deep.

6 Umuntu ongelangqondo akazi, iziwula kazizwisisi,

A foolish man will not know, and a senseless man will not understand this.

7 ukuthi loba ababi bemila njengotshani lezigangi zonke ziphumelela, zizabhujiswa nini lanini.

When the sinners spring up as the grass, and all the workers of iniquity have watched; [it is] that they may be utterly destroyed for ever.

8 Kodwa wena Thixo, uphakeme laphakade.

But you, O Lord, are most high for ever.

9 Ngoba ngempela izitha zakho, Oh Thixo, ngempela izitha zakho zizabhubha; zonke izigangi zizachithizwa.

For, behold, your enemies shall perish; and all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

10 Uluphakamisile uphondo lwami njengolwenyathi; ngagcotshwa ngamakha amnandi.

But my horn shall be exalted [as the horn] of a unicorn; and mine old age with rich mercy.

11 Amehlo ami abonile ukwehlulwa kwezitha zami; indlebe zami zizwile ngokuchithizwa kwezitha zami ezimbi.

And mine eye has seen mine enemies, and mine ear shall hear the wicked that rise up against me.

12 Abalungileyo bazaqhela njengesihlahla selala, bazakhula njengomsedari waseLebhanoni;

The righteous shall flourish as a palm tree: he shall be increased as the cedar in Libanus.

13 ngoba behlanyelwe endlini kaThixo, bazaqhela emagumeni kaNkulunkulu wethu.

They that are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God.

14 Bazabe belokhu bethela izithelo lanxa sebebadala, bazahlala belokhu behluma beluhlaza,

Then shall they be increased in a fine old age; and they shall be prosperous; that they may declare

15 bememezela besithi, “UThixo uqotho; uliDwala lami, kakukho bubi kuye.”

that the Lord my God is righteous, and there is no iniquity in him.
