Amahubo 92

1 Kuhle ukubonga iNkosi, lokuhlabela indumiso ebizweni lakho, wena oPhezukonke;

A Psalm, a Song, for the Sabbath day. It is good to give thanks unto Jehovah, and to sing psalms unto thy name, O Most High;

2 ukutshumayela uthandolomusa wakho ekuseni, lothembeko lwakho ebusuku bonke,

To declare thy loving-kindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness in the nights,

3 ngechacho elilentambo ezilitshumi, langogubhu lwezintambo, ngechacho elikhala kamnandi.

Upon an instrument of ten strings and upon the lute; upon the Higgaion with the harp.

4 Ngoba ungithokozisile, Nkosi, ngomsebenzi wakho; ngizamemeza ngenjabulo ngemisebenzi yezandla zakho.

For thou, Jehovah, hast made me glad through thy work; I will triumph in the works of thy hands.

5 Mikhulu kangakanani imisebenzi yakho, Nkosi! Izikile kakhulu imicabango yakho.

Jehovah, how great are thy works! Thy thoughts are very deep:

6 Isiphukuphuku kasazi, lesithutha kasikuqedisisi lokhu.

A brutish man knoweth not, neither doth a fool understand it.

7 Lapho ababi behluma njengotshani, labo bonke abenzi bobubi bekhahlela, kuyikuze babhujiswe kuze kube phakade.

When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity flourish, it is that they may be destroyed for ever.

8 Kodwa wena, Nkosi, uphakeme kuze kube nininini.

And thou, Jehovah, art on high for evermore.

9 Ngoba khangela, izitha zakho, Nkosi, ngoba khangela, izitha zakho zizabhubha; bonke abenzi bobubi bazachitheka.

For lo, thine enemies, O Jehovah, for lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

10 Kodwa uzaphakamisa uphondo lwami njengolwenyathi; ngizagcotshwa ngamafutha amatsha.

But my horn shalt thou exalt like a buffalo's: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.

11 Lelihlo lami lizabona isiloyiso sami ezitheni zami, indlebe zami zizakuzwa mayelana lababi abangivukelayo.

And mine eye shall see [its desire] on mine enemies; mine ears shall hear [it] of the evil-doers that rise up against me.

12 Olungileyo uzahluma njengesihlahla selala, akhule njengomsedari eLebhanoni.

The righteous shall shoot forth like a palm-tree; he shall grow like a cedar on Lebanon.

13 Abahlanyelwe endlini yeNkosi, bazahluma emagumeni kaNkulunkulu wethu.

Those that are planted in the house of Jehovah shall flourish in the courts of our God:

14 Bazabe belokhu bethela izithelo ebudaleni babo, bakhuluphale babeluhlaza,

They are still vigorous in old age, they are full of sap and green;

15 ukutshumayela ukuthi iNkosi iqondile; ilidwala lami, njalo kakukho ukungalungi kiyo.

To shew that Jehovah is upright: [he is] my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
