< Amahubo 121 >
1 Ngizaphakamisela amehlo ami ezintabeni, lapho usizo lwami oluzavela khona.
A song of ascents. I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come?
2 Usizo lwami luvela eNkosini, eyenza amazulu lomhlaba.
My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
3 Kayiyikuvuma ukuthi unyawo lwakho lutshelele; umlondolozi wakho kayikuwozela.
He will not allow your foot to slip; your Protector will not slumber.
4 Khangela, umlondolozi kaIsrayeli kayikuwozela njalo kayikulala.
Behold, the Protector of Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 INkosi ingumlondolozi wakho; iNkosi ingumthunzi wakho esandleni sakho sokunene.
The LORD is your keeper; the LORD is the shade on your right hand.
6 Ilanga kaliyikukutshaya emini, lenyanga ebusuku.
The sun will not strike you by day, nor the moon by night.
7 INkosi izakulondoloza kukho konke okubi; izalondoloza umphefumulo wakho.
The LORD will guard you from all evil; He will preserve your soul.
8 INkosi izalondoloza ukuphuma kwakho lokungena kwakho, kusukela khathesi kuze kube phakade.
The LORD will watch over your coming and going, both now and forevermore.
