Psalms 112

1 Hallelujah. Happy are those who fear the Lord, and greatly delight in his commandments.

Dumisani uThixo. Ubusisiwe umuntu owesaba uThixo, othokoza kakhulu ngemilayo yakhe.

2 Mighty on earth shall be their seed; a blessing shall rest on the race of the upright.

Abantwabakhe bazaba lamandla elizweni; isizukulwane soqotho sizabusiswa.

3 Wealth and riches are in their houses, their prosperity stands forever.

Inotho lenzuzo kusendlini yakhe, lokulunga kwakhe kumi laphakade.

4 To the upright arises light in the darkness; full of favour and pity and kindness are they.

Lasebumnyameni kuyavela ukukhanya kwabaqotho, emuntwini olomusa, olesihawu lolungileyo.

5 It is well with those who show pity and lend, who support all their affairs upon justice.

Ubuhle buzakwehlela kuye ophanayo loweboleka ekhululekile, oqhuba zonke izinto zakhe ngemfanelo.

6 For they will never be shaken; the just will be forever remembered.

Ngeqiniso kayikunyikinyeka; umuntu olungileyo uzakhunjulwa lanininini.

7 They will not be afraid of evil tidings, with steady heart they trust the Lord.

Akayikwesaba imibiko emibi; inhliziyo yakhe ichumile, yethembele kuThixo.

8 Their heart is firm and unafraid: they know they will feast their eyes on their enemies.

Inhliziyo yakhe ikhululekile, akalakwesaba; ekucineni uzakhangela izitha zakhe ngokunqoba.

9 With lavish hands they give to the poor, and their prosperity stands forever. They are lifted to heights of triumph and honour.

Uhlakazele izipho zakhe kubayanga ezindaweni zonke, ukulunga kwakhe kumi laphakade; uphondo lwakhe luzaphakanyiselwa phezulu ngenhlonipho.

10 The sight of them fills the wicked with anger: grinding their teeth with despair. The hopes of the wicked will come to nothing.

Umuntu omubi uzakubona lokhu afuthelane, uzagedla amazinyo akhe, acikizeke emzimbeni; izinkanuko zababi zizaphetha ziyize.
