Amahubo 121

1 Ingoma yemiqanso. Ngiphakamisela amehlo ami ezintabeni usizo lwami luvela ngaphi na?

I will lift up my eyes to the mountains. From where shall my help come?

2 Usizo lwami luvela kuThixo, uMenzi wezulu lomhlaba.

My help is from Jehovah, who made heaven and earth.

3 Kayikuyekela unyawo lwakho lutshelela yena okulindayo kayikuwozela;

He will not allow thy foot to be moved. He who keeps thee will not slumber.

4 ngempela yena olinda u-Israyeli akayikuwozela, akayikulala.

Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

5 UThixo uyakulinda uThixo ungumthunzi wakho esandleni sakho sokunene;

Jehovah is thy keeper. Jehovah is thy shade upon thy right hand.

6 ilanga kaliyikukutshisa emini noma loba inyanga ebusuku.

The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.

7 UThixo uzakuvikela kuzozonke izingozi uzalinda impilo yakho;

Jehovah will keep thee from all evil. He will keep thy soul.

8 uThixo uzalondoloza ukufika kwakho lokusuka kwakho manje kuze kube phakade.

Jehovah will keep thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth and for evermore.
