1 Dumisani iNkosi! Ubusisiwe umuntu oyesabayo iNkosi, othokoza kakhulu ngemithetho yayo.
Praise all of you the LORD. Blessed is the man that fears the LORD, that delights 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 shall be in his house: and his righteousness endures for ever.
4 Kuyabaphumela abaqotho ukukhanya emnyameni; ilomusa lesihawu lokulunga.
Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
5 Umuntu olungileyo ngolesisa lowebolekisayo, wenza izindaba zakhe ngokulunga.
A good man shows favour, and lends: he will guide his affairs with discretion.
6 Ngoba kayikunyikinywa phakade; olungileyo uzakuba sekukhunjulweni kuze kube nininini.
Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.
7 Kayikwesaba umbiko omubi, inhliziyo yakhe iqinile, ithemba eNkosini.
He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, 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 see his desire upon his enemies.
9 Uhlakazile, uyabanika abayanga; ukulunga kwakhe kumi kuze kube nininini; uphondo lwakhe luzaphakanyiswa ngodumo.
He has dispersed, he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.
10 Omubi uyakubona, athukuthele; agedle amazinyo akhe, ancibilike; isifiso sababi sizabhubha.
The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
