Mapisarema 121

1 Rwiyo rworwendo. Ndinosimudzira meso angu kumakomo, kubatsirwa kwangu kunobvepiko?

A Song of the going up. My eyes are lifted up to the hills: O where will my help come from?

2 Rubatsiro rwangu runobva kuna Jehovha, muiti wokudenga napasi.

Your help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

3 Haangatenderi rutsoka rwako kuti rutedzemuke, muchengeti wako haangakotsiri;

May he not let your foot be moved: no need of sleep has he who keeps you.

4 zvirokwazvo, muchengeti waIsraeri haangakotsiri kana kuvata.

See, the eyes of Israel's keeper will not be shut in sleep.

5 Jehovha anokurinda, Jehovha ndiye mumvuri wako kuruoko rwako rworudyi;

The Lord is your keeper; the Lord is your shade on your right hand.

6 zuva haringakubayi masikati, kana mwedzi usiku.

You will not be touched by the sun in the day, or by the moon at night.

7 Jehovha achakuchengeta pane zvose zvinokuvadza, iye acharinda upenyu hwako;

The Lord will keep you safe from all evil; he will take care of your soul.

8 Jehovha achakurinda pakubuda kwako napakupinda kwako, kubva zvino uye nokusingaperi.

The Lord will keep watch over your going out and your coming in, from this time and for ever.
