Amahubo 121

1 Ngizaphakamisela amehlo ami ezintabeni, lapho usizo lwami oluzavela khona.

A song of degrees. I will lift mine eyes vnto the mountaines, from whence mine helpe shall come.

2 Usizo lwami luvela eNkosini, eyenza amazulu lomhlaba.

Mine helpe commeth from the Lord, which hath made the heauen and the earth.

3 Kayiyikuvuma ukuthi unyawo lwakho lutshelele; umlondolozi wakho kayikuwozela.

He wil not suffer thy foote to slippe: for he that keepeth thee, will not slumber.

4 Khangela, umlondolozi kaIsrayeli kayikuwozela njalo kayikulala.

Beholde, he that keepeth Israel, wil neither slumber nor sleepe.

5 INkosi ingumlondolozi wakho; iNkosi ingumthunzi wakho esandleni sakho sokunene.

The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shadow at thy right hand.

6 Ilanga kaliyikukutshaya emini, lenyanga ebusuku.

The sunne shall not smite thee by day, nor the moone by night.

7 INkosi izakulondoloza kukho konke okubi; izalondoloza umphefumulo wakho.

The Lord shall preserue thee from all euil: he shall keepe thy soule.

8 INkosi izalondoloza ukuphuma kwakho lokungena kwakho, kusukela khathesi kuze kube phakade.

The Lord shall preserue thy going out, and thy comming in from henceforth and for euer.
