1 Ihubo. Ingoma. Elosuku lweSabatha. Kuhle ukudumisa uThixo lokuhlabelela ebizweni lakho, wena oPhezukonke,
A Psalm. — A Song for the sabbath-day. Good to give thanks to Jehovah, And to sing praises to Thy name, O Most High,
2 ukumemezela uthando lwakho ekuseni lokuthembeka kwakho ebusuku,
To declare in the morning Thy kindness, And Thy faithfulness in the nights.
3 ukutshaya iziginci ngomhubhe wezintambo ezilitshumi lemvungamo emnandi yechacho.
On ten strings and on psaltery, On (higgaion) with harp.
4 Ngoba uyangijabulisa ngezenzo zakho, Oh Thixo; ngihlala ngentokozo ngomsebenzi wezandla zakho.
For Thou hast caused me to rejoice, O Jehovah, in Thy work, Concerning the works of Thy hands I sing.
5 Mikhulu kangaka imisebenzi yakho, Oh Thixo, izikile imicabango yakho!
How great have been Thy works, O Jehovah, Very deep have been Thy thoughts.
6 Umuntu ongelangqondo akazi, iziwula kazizwisisi,
A brutish man doth not know, And a fool understandeth not this; —
7 ukuthi loba ababi bemila njengotshani lezigangi zonke ziphumelela, zizabhujiswa nini lanini.
When the wicked flourish as a herb, And blossom do all workers of iniquity — For their being destroyed for ever and ever!
8 Kodwa wena Thixo, uphakeme laphakade.
And Thou [art] high to the age, O Jehovah.
9 Ngoba ngempela izitha zakho, Oh Thixo, ngempela izitha zakho zizabhubha; zonke izigangi zizachithizwa.
For, lo, Thine enemies, O Jehovah, For, lo, Thine enemies, do perish, Separate themselves do all workers of iniquity.
10 Uluphakamisile uphondo lwami njengolwenyathi; ngagcotshwa ngamakha amnandi.
And Thou exaltest as a reem my horn, I have been anointed with fresh oil.
11 Amehlo ami abonile ukwehlulwa kwezitha zami; indlebe zami zizwile ngokuchithizwa kwezitha zami ezimbi.
And mine eye looketh on mine enemies, Of those rising up against me, The evil doers, do mine ears hear.
12 Abalungileyo bazaqhela njengesihlahla selala, bazakhula njengomsedari waseLebhanoni;
The righteous as a palm-tree flourisheth, As a cedar in Lebanon he groweth.
13 ngoba behlanyelwe endlini kaThixo, bazaqhela emagumeni kaNkulunkulu wethu.
Those planted in the house of Jehovah, In the courts of our God do flourish.
14 Bazabe belokhu bethela izithelo lanxa sebebadala, bazahlala belokhu behluma beluhlaza,
Still they bring forth in old age, Fat and flourishing are they,
15 bememezela besithi, “UThixo uqotho; uliDwala lami, kakukho bubi kuye.”
To declare that upright [is] Jehovah my rock, And there is no perverseness in Him!
