Amahubo 112

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

Praise the LORD! Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who delights greatly in his commandments.

2 Inzalo yakhe izakuba lamandla emhlabeni; isizukulwana sabaqotho sizabusiswa.

His offspring will be mighty in the land. The generation of the upright will be blessed.

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

Wealth and riches are in his house. His righteousness endures forever.

4 Kuyabaphumela abaqotho ukukhanya emnyameni; ilomusa lesihawu lokulunga.

Light dawns in the darkness for the upright, gracious, merciful, and righteous.

5 Umuntu olungileyo ngolesisa lowebolekisayo, wenza izindaba zakhe ngokulunga.

It is well with the man who deals graciously and lends. He will maintain his cause in judgement.

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

For he will never be shaken. The righteous will be remembered forever.

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

He will not be afraid of evil news. His heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.

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

His heart is established. He will not be afraid in the end when he sees his adversaries.

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 forever. His horn will be exalted with honour.

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

The wicked will see it, and be grieved. He shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away. The desire of the wicked will perish.
