Psalms 121

1 A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. I look to the hills—but is that where my help comes from?

Ngizaphakamisela amehlo ami ezintabeni, lapho usizo lwami oluzavela khona.

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

Usizo lwami luvela eNkosini, eyenza amazulu lomhlaba.

3 He will not let you fall; he who watches over you won't fall asleep.

Kayiyikuvuma ukuthi unyawo lwakho lutshelele; umlondolozi wakho kayikuwozela.

4 In fact he who watches over you doesn't take naps or fall asleep.

Khangela, umlondolozi kaIsrayeli kayikuwozela njalo kayikulala.

5 The Lord keeps watch over you; the Lord protects you; he stands right beside you.

INkosi ingumlondolozi wakho; iNkosi ingumthunzi wakho esandleni sakho sokunene.

6 The sun won't hurt you during the day, nor the moon at night.

Ilanga kaliyikukutshaya emini, lenyanga ebusuku.

7 The Lord will protect you from all kinds of evil; he will keep you safe and sound.

INkosi izakulondoloza kukho konke okubi; izalondoloza umphefumulo wakho.

8 The Lord will look after you when you leave, and when you return, now and forever.

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