Amahubo 121

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

A Song of Ascents. I will lift up mine eyes unto the mountains: from whence shall my help come?

2 Usizo lwami luvela eNkosini, eyenza amazulu lomhlaba.

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

3 Kayiyikuvuma ukuthi unyawo lwakho lutshelele; umlondolozi wakho kayikuwozela.

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

4 Khangela, umlondolozi kaIsrayeli kayikuwozela njalo kayikulala.

Behold, He that keepeth Israel doth neither slumber nor sleep.

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

The LORD is thy keeper; the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.

6 Ilanga kaliyikukutshaya emini, lenyanga ebusuku.

The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.

7 INkosi izakulondoloza kukho konke okubi; izalondoloza umphefumulo wakho.

The LORD shall keep thee from all evil; He shall keep thy soul.

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

The LORD shall guard thy going out and thy coming in, from this time forth and for ever.
