Psalms 121

1 “A song for the degrees.” I lift up my eyes unto the mountains: whence shall come my help?

Ngizaphakamisela amehlo ami ezintabeni, lapho usizo lwami oluzavela khona.

2 My help is from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.

Usizo lwami luvela eNkosini, eyenza amazulu lomhlaba.

3 He will not suffer thy foot to slip: thy keeper doth not slumber.

Kayiyikuvuma ukuthi unyawo lwakho lutshelele; umlondolozi wakho kayikuwozela.

4 Behold, he slumbereth not, and he sleepeth not—the keeper of Israel.

Khangela, umlondolozi kaIsrayeli kayikuwozela njalo kayikulala.

5 The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade, he is on thy right hand.

INkosi ingumlondolozi wakho; iNkosi ingumthunzi wakho esandleni sakho sokunene.

6 By day the sun shall not strike thee, nor the moon by night.

Ilanga kaliyikukutshaya emini, lenyanga ebusuku.

7 The Lord will guard thee against all evil: he will guard thy soul.

INkosi izakulondoloza kukho konke okubi; izalondoloza umphefumulo wakho.

8 The Lord will guard thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth and for evermore.

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