Amahubo 121

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

[A Song of Ascents.] I will lift up my eyes to the hills. Where does my help come from?

2 Usizo lwami luvela kuThixo, uMenzi wezulu lomhlaba.

My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth.

3 Kayikuyekela unyawo lwakho lutshelela yena okulindayo kayikuwozela;

He will not allow your foot to be moved. He who keeps you will not slumber.

4 ngempela yena olinda u-Israyeli akayikuwozela, akayikulala.

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

5 UThixo uyakulinda uThixo ungumthunzi wakho esandleni sakho sokunene;

The LORD is your keeper. The LORD is your shade on your right hand.

6 ilanga kaliyikukutshisa emini noma loba inyanga ebusuku.

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

7 UThixo uzakuvikela kuzozonke izingozi uzalinda impilo yakho;

The LORD will keep you from all evil. He will keep your soul.

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

The LORD will keep your going out and your coming in, from this time forth, and forevermore.
