Amahubo 121

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

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.

2 Usizo lwami luvela eNkosini, eyenza amazulu lomhlaba.

My help cometh from YHWH, which 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 shall neither slumber nor sleep.

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

YHWH is thy keeper: YHWH 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.

YHWH shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.

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

YHWH shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.
