Amahubo 121

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

A Song of the Ascents. I lift up mine eyes unto the hills, Whence doth my help come?

2 Usizo lwami luvela eNkosini, eyenza amazulu lomhlaba.

My help [is] from Jehovah, maker of heaven and earth,

3 Kayiyikuvuma ukuthi unyawo lwakho lutshelele; umlondolozi wakho kayikuwozela.

He suffereth not thy foot to be moved, Thy preserver slumbereth not.

4 Khangela, umlondolozi kaIsrayeli kayikuwozela njalo kayikulala.

Lo, He slumbereth not, nor sleepeth, He who is preserving Israel.

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

Jehovah [is] thy preserver, Jehovah [is] thy shade on thy right hand,

6 Ilanga kaliyikukutshaya emini, lenyanga ebusuku.

By day the sun doth not smite thee, Nor the moon by night.

7 INkosi izakulondoloza kukho konke okubi; izalondoloza umphefumulo wakho.

Jehovah preserveth thee from all evil, He doth preserve thy soul.

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

Jehovah preserveth thy going out and thy coming in, From henceforth even unto the age!
