Psalms 121

1 A Canticle in steps. I have lifted up my eyes to the mountains; from thence help will come to me.

Ingoma yemiqanso. Ngiphakamisela amehlo ami ezintabeni usizo lwami luvela ngaphi na?

2 My help is from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

Usizo lwami luvela kuThixo, uMenzi wezulu lomhlaba.

3 May he not allow your foot to be moved, and may he not slumber, who guards you.

Kayikuyekela unyawo lwakho lutshelela yena okulindayo kayikuwozela;

4 Behold, he who guards Israel will neither sleep, nor slumber.

ngempela yena olinda u-Israyeli akayikuwozela, akayikulala.

5 The Lord is your keeper, the Lord is your protection, above your right hand.

UThixo uyakulinda uThixo ungumthunzi wakho esandleni sakho sokunene;

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

ilanga kaliyikukutshisa emini noma loba inyanga ebusuku.

7 The Lord guards you from all evil. May the Lord guard your soul.

UThixo uzakuvikela kuzozonke izingozi uzalinda impilo yakho;

8 May the Lord guard your entrance and your exit, from this time forward and even forever.

uThixo uzalondoloza ukufika kwakho lokusuka kwakho manje kuze kube phakade.
