Amahubo 92

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

It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy Name, O most High:

2 ukutshumayela uthandolomusa wakho ekuseni, lothembeko lwakho ebusuku bonke,

To show forth your loving kindness in the morning, and your faithfulness every night,

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

On an instrument of ten strings, and on the psaltery; on the harp with a solemn sound.

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

For you, LORD, have made me glad through your work: I will triumph in the works of your hands.

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

O LORD, how great are your works! and your thoughts are very deep.

6 Isiphukuphuku kasazi, lesithutha kasikuqedisisi lokhu.

A brutish man knows not; neither does a fool understand this.

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 do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever:

8 Kodwa wena, Nkosi, uphakeme kuze kube nininini.

But you, LORD, are most high for ever more.

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

For, see, your enemies, O LORD, for, see, your enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

10 Kodwa uzaphakamisa uphondo lwami njengolwenyathi; ngizagcotshwa ngamafutha amatsha.

But my horn shall you exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.

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

My eye also shall see my desire on my enemies, and my ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me.

12 Olungileyo uzahluma njengesihlahla selala, akhule njengomsedari eLebhanoni.

The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

13 Abahlanyelwe endlini yeNkosi, bazahluma emagumeni kaNkulunkulu wethu.

Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God.

14 Bazabe belokhu bethela izithelo ebudaleni babo, bakhuluphale babeluhlaza,

They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;

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

To show that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
