Amahubo 112

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

Praise ye the LORD. Blessed 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 shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.

4 Kuyabaphumela abaqotho ukukhanya emnyameni; ilomusa lesihawu lokulunga.

To the upright there ariseth light in darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

5 Umuntu olungileyo ngolesisa lowebolekisayo, wenza izindaba zakhe ngokulunga.

A good man showeth favour, and lendeth: 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 seeth his desire upon his enemies.

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

He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth 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.
