Amahubo 121

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

I will lift up my eyes to the hills, from where comes my help.

2 Usizo lwami luvela eNkosini, eyenza amazulu lomhlaba.

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

3 Kayiyikuvuma ukuthi unyawo lwakho lutshelele; umlondolozi wakho kayikuwozela.

He will not suffer your foot to be moved: he that keeps you will not slumber.

4 Khangela, umlondolozi kaIsrayeli kayikuwozela njalo kayikulala.

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

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

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

6 Ilanga kaliyikukutshaya emini, lenyanga ebusuku.

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

7 INkosi izakulondoloza kukho konke okubi; izalondoloza umphefumulo wakho.

The LORD shall preserve you from all evil: he shall preserve your soul.

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

The LORD shall preserve your going out and your coming in from this time forth, and even for ever more.
