Psalms 121

1 A Song of Degrees. I lifted up mine eyes to the mountains, whence my help shall come.

Ngizaphakamisela amehlo ami ezintabeni, lapho usizo lwami oluzavela khona.

2 My help [shall come] from the Lord, who made the heaven and the earth.

Usizo lwami luvela eNkosini, eyenza amazulu lomhlaba.

3 Let not thy foot be moved; and let not thy keeper slumber.

Kayiyikuvuma ukuthi unyawo lwakho lutshelele; umlondolozi wakho kayikuwozela.

4 Behold, he that keeps Israel shall not slumber nor sleep.

Khangela, umlondolozi kaIsrayeli kayikuwozela njalo kayikulala.

5 The Lord shall keep thee: the Lord is thy shelter upon thy right hand.

INkosi ingumlondolozi wakho; iNkosi ingumthunzi wakho esandleni sakho sokunene.

6 The sun shall not burn thee by day, neither the moon by night.

Ilanga kaliyikukutshaya emini, lenyanga ebusuku.

7 May the Lord preserve thee from all evil: the Lord shall keep thy soul.

INkosi izakulondoloza kukho konke okubi; izalondoloza umphefumulo wakho.

8 The Lord shall keep thy coming in, and thy going out, from henceforth and even for ever.

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