Amahubo 125

1 Labo abathembela eNkosini banjengentaba iZiyonienganyikinyekiyo, emi kuze kube phakade.

A Song of the going up. Those whose hope is in the Lord are like the mountain of Zion, which may not be moved, but keeps its place for ever.

2 Njengezintaba ziyiphahlile iJerusalema, ngokunjalo iNkosi iyabaphahla abantu bayo kusukela kulesisikhathi kuze kube nininini.

As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about his people, from this time and for ever.

3 Ngoba intonga yobukhosi yobubi kayiyikuhlala phezu kwesabelo sabalungileyo, ukuze abalungileyo bangeluleli izandla zabo kokubi.

For the rod of sinners will not be resting on the heritage of the upright; so that the upright may not put out their hands to evil.

4 Nkosi, yenza okuhle kubo abalungileyo lakubo abaqotho enhliziyweni zabo.

Do good, O Lord, to those who are good, and to those who are upright in heart.

5 Kodwa labo abaphambukela ezindleleni zabo ezitshekileyo iNkosi izabenza bahambe labenzi bobubi. Ukuthula phezu kukaIsrayeli!

But as for such as are turned out of the straight way, the Lord will take them away with the workers of evil. Let peace be on Israel.
