Amahubo 112

1 Dumisani iNkosi! Ubusisiwe umuntu oyesabayo iNkosi, othokoza kakhulu ngemithetho yayo.

Hallelujah. Happy is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in His commandments.

2 Inzalo yakhe izakuba lamandla emhlabeni; isizukulwana sabaqotho sizabusiswa.

His seed shall be mighty upon earth; the generation of the upright shall be blessed.

3 Imfuyo lenotho kuzakuba sendlini yakhe, lokulunga kwakhe kuzakuma kuze kube nininini.

Wealth and riches are in his house; and his merit endureth for ever.

4 Kuyabaphumela abaqotho ukukhanya emnyameni; ilomusa lesihawu lokulunga.

Unto the upright He shineth as a light in the darkness, gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

5 Umuntu olungileyo ngolesisa lowebolekisayo, wenza izindaba zakhe ngokulunga.

Well is it with the man that dealeth graciously and lendeth, that ordereth his affairs rightfully.

6 Ngoba kayikunyikinywa phakade; olungileyo uzakuba sekukhunjulweni kuze kube nininini.

For he shall never be moved; the righteous shall be had in everlasting remembrance.

7 Kayikwesaba umbiko omubi, inhliziyo yakhe iqinile, ithemba eNkosini.

He shall not be afraid of evil tidings; his heart is stedfast, trusting in the LORD.

8 Isekelwe inhliziyo yakhe, kayikwesaba, aze abone isiloyiso sakhe phezu kwezitha zakhe.

His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he gaze upon his adversaries.

9 Uhlakazile, uyabanika abayanga; ukulunga kwakhe kumi kuze kube nininini; uphondo lwakhe luzaphakanyiswa ngodumo.

He hath scattered abroad, he hath given to the needy; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted in honour.

10 Omubi uyakubona, athukuthele; agedle amazinyo akhe, ancibilike; isifiso sababi sizabhubha.

The wicked shall see it, and be vexed; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away; the desire of the wicked shall perish.
