Psalms 121

1 A song of ascents. I will lift up my eyes to the mountains. From where will my help come?

He waiata; he pikitanga. Ka anga atu oku kanohi ki nga maunga; no reira nei te awhina moku.

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

No Ihowa te awhina moku, no te kaihanga o te rangi, o te whenua.

3 He will not allow your foot to slip; he who protects you will not slumber.

E kore ia e tuku i tou waewae kia nekehia; e kore tou kaitiaki e moe.

4 See, the guardian of Israel never slumbers or sleeps.

Ina, e kore te kaitiaki o Iharaira e parangia, e moe.

5 Yahweh is your guardian; Yahweh is the shade at your right hand.

Ko Ihowa tou kaitiaki, ko Ihowa tou whakamarumaru i tou matau.

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

E kore koe e pakia e te ra i te awatea, e te marama ranei i te po.

7 Yahweh will protect you from all harm, and he will protect your life.

Ma Ihowa koe e tiaki i roto i nga kino katoa; mana e tiaki tou wairua.

8 Yahweh will protect you in all you do now and forevermore.

Ma Ihowa e tiaki tou haerenga atu, me tou haerenga mai aianei a ake tonu atu.
