Amahubo 92
1 Kuhle ukubonga iNkosi, lokuhlabela indumiso ebizweni lakho, wena oPhezukonke;
A Psalm [or] Song for the sabbath day. [It is a] good [thing] to give thanks to the LORD, and to sing praises to thy name, O Most High.
2 ukutshumayela uthandolomusa wakho ekuseni, lothembeko lwakho ebusuku bonke,
To show forth thy loving-kindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night.
3 ngechacho elilentambo ezilitshumi, langogubhu lwezintambo, ngechacho elikhala kamnandi.
Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound.
4 Ngoba ungithokozisile, Nkosi, ngomsebenzi wakho; ngizamemeza ngenjabulo ngemisebenzi yezandla zakho.
For thou, LORD, 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.
O LORD, how great are thy works! [and] thy thoughts are very deep.
6 Isiphukuphuku kasazi, lesithutha kasikuqedisisi lokhu.
A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth 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 thou, LORD, [art most] high for evermore.
9 Ngoba khangela, izitha zakho, Nkosi, ngoba khangela, izitha zakho zizabhubha; bonke abenzi bobubi bazachitheka.
For lo, thy enemies, O LORD, for lo, thy 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 [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 are 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.
