Amahubo 112

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

Praise ye Jah! O the happiness of one fearing Jehovah, In His commands he hath delighted greatly.

2 Inzalo yakhe izakuba lamandla emhlabeni; isizukulwana sabaqotho sizabusiswa.

Mighty in the earth is his seed, The generation of the upright is blessed.

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

Wealth and riches [are] in his house, And his righteousness is standing for ever.

4 Kuyabaphumela abaqotho ukukhanya emnyameni; ilomusa lesihawu lokulunga.

Light hath risen in darkness to the upright, Gracious, and merciful, and righteous.

5 Umuntu olungileyo ngolesisa lowebolekisayo, wenza izindaba zakhe ngokulunga.

Good [is] the man — gracious and lending, He sustaineth his matters in judgment.

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

For — to the age he is not moved; For a memorial age-during is the righteous.

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

Of an evil report he is not afraid, Prepared is His heart, confident in Jehovah.

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

Sustained is his heart — he feareth not, Till that he look on his adversaries.

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

He hath scattered — hath given to the needy, His righteousness is standing for ever, His horn is exalted with honour.

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

The wicked seeth, and hath been angry, His teeth he gnasheth, and hath melted, The desire of the wicked doth perish!
