Amahubo 125

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

“A psalm of the steps, or the goings up.” They who trust in the LORD shall be as Mount Zion, Which cannot be moved, which standeth 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, Henceforth even for ever!

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

For the sceptre of the wicked shall not remain upon the portion of the righteous, Lest the righteous put forth their hands to iniquity.

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

Do good, O LORD! to the good, To them that are upright in heart!

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

But such as turn aside to their crooked ways, -May the LORD destroy them with the evil-doers! Peace be to Israel!
