Psalms 121

1 A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. I lift up my eyes to the hills, From where does my help come?

Ngizaphakamisela amehlo ami ezintabeni, lapho usizo lwami oluzavela khona.

2 My help [is] from YHWH, Maker of the heavens and earth,

Usizo lwami luvela eNkosini, eyenza amazulu lomhlaba.

3 He does not permit your foot to be moved, He who is preserving you does not slumber.

Kayiyikuvuma ukuthi unyawo lwakho lutshelele; umlondolozi wakho kayikuwozela.

4 Behold, He does not slumber, nor sleep, He who is preserving Israel.

Khangela, umlondolozi kaIsrayeli kayikuwozela njalo kayikulala.

5 YHWH [is] He who is preserving you, YHWH [is] your shade on your right hand,

INkosi ingumlondolozi wakho; iNkosi ingumthunzi wakho esandleni sakho sokunene.

6 By day the sun does not strike you, Nor the moon by night.

Ilanga kaliyikukutshaya emini, lenyanga ebusuku.

7 YHWH preserves you from all evil, He preserves your soul.

INkosi izakulondoloza kukho konke okubi; izalondoloza umphefumulo wakho.

8 YHWH preserves your going out and your coming in, From now on—even for all time!

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