Psalms 121

1 I have lifted up my eyes to the mountains, from whence help shall come to me.

Ngizaphakamisela amehlo ami ezintabeni, lapho usizo lwami oluzavela khona.

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

Usizo lwami luvela eNkosini, eyenza amazulu lomhlaba.

3 May he not suffer thy foot to be moved: neither let him slumber that keepeth thee.

Kayiyikuvuma ukuthi unyawo lwakho lutshelele; umlondolozi wakho kayikuwozela.

4 Behold he shall neither slumber nor sleep, that keepeth Israel.

Khangela, umlondolozi kaIsrayeli kayikuwozela njalo kayikulala.

5 The Lord is thy keeper, the Lord is thy protection upon thy right hand.

INkosi ingumlondolozi wakho; iNkosi ingumthunzi wakho esandleni sakho sokunene.

6 The sun shall not burn thee by day: nor the moon by night.

Ilanga kaliyikukutshaya emini, lenyanga ebusuku.

7 The Lord keepeth thee from all evil: may the Lord keep thy soul.

INkosi izakulondoloza kukho konke okubi; izalondoloza umphefumulo wakho.

8 May the Lord keep thy going in and thy going out; from henceforth now and for ever.

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