Psalms 121

1 A song of ascents. I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come?

Ngizaphakamisela amehlo ami ezintabeni, lapho usizo lwami oluzavela khona.

2 My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.

Usizo lwami luvela eNkosini, eyenza amazulu lomhlaba.

3 He will not allow your foot to slip; your Protector will not slumber.

Kayiyikuvuma ukuthi unyawo lwakho lutshelele; umlondolozi wakho kayikuwozela.

4 Behold, the Protector of Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

Khangela, umlondolozi kaIsrayeli kayikuwozela njalo kayikulala.

5 The LORD is your keeper; the LORD is the shade on your right hand.

INkosi ingumlondolozi wakho; iNkosi ingumthunzi wakho esandleni sakho sokunene.

6 The sun will not strike you by day, nor the moon by night.

Ilanga kaliyikukutshaya emini, lenyanga ebusuku.

7 The LORD will guard you from all evil; He will preserve your soul.

INkosi izakulondoloza kukho konke okubi; izalondoloza umphefumulo wakho.

8 The LORD will watch over your coming and going, both now and forevermore.

INkosi izalondoloza ukuphuma kwakho lokungena kwakho, kusukela khathesi kuze kube phakade.
