Amahubo 121

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

A Song of degrees. I will lift up my eyes to the hills, from whence cometh my help.

2 Usizo lwami luvela kuThixo, uMenzi wezulu lomhlaba.

My help [cometh] from the LORD, who made heaven and earth.

3 Kayikuyekela unyawo lwakho lutshelela yena okulindayo kayikuwozela;

He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.

4 ngempela yena olinda u-Israyeli akayikuwozela, akayikulala.

Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.

5 UThixo uyakulinda uThixo ungumthunzi wakho esandleni sakho sokunene;

The LORD [is] thy keeper: the LORD [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;

The LORD will preserve thee from all evil: he will preserve thy soul.

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

The LORD will preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for ever.
