1 Ingoma yemiqanso. Ngiphakamisela amehlo ami ezintabeni usizo lwami luvela ngaphi na?
A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. I lift up my eyes to the hills, From where does my help come?
2 Usizo lwami luvela kuThixo, uMenzi wezulu lomhlaba.
My help [is] from YHWH, Maker of the heavens and earth,
3 Kayikuyekela unyawo lwakho lutshelela yena okulindayo kayikuwozela;
He does not permit your foot to be moved, He who is preserving you does not slumber.
4 ngempela yena olinda u-Israyeli akayikuwozela, akayikulala.
Behold, He does not slumber, nor sleep, He who is preserving Israel.
5 UThixo uyakulinda uThixo ungumthunzi wakho esandleni sakho sokunene;
YHWH [is] He who is preserving you, YHWH [is] your shade on your right hand,
6 ilanga kaliyikukutshisa emini noma loba inyanga ebusuku.
By day the sun does not strike you, Nor the moon by night.
7 UThixo uzakuvikela kuzozonke izingozi uzalinda impilo yakho;
YHWH preserves you from all evil, He preserves your soul.
8 uThixo uzalondoloza ukufika kwakho lokusuka kwakho manje kuze kube phakade.
YHWH preserves your going out and your coming in, From now on—even for all time!
