Mapisarema 121

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

I have lifted up my eyes to the mountains, from whence help shall come to me.

2 Rubatsiro rwangu runobva kuna Jehovha, muiti wokudenga napasi.

My help is from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

3 Haangatenderi rutsoka rwako kuti rutedzemuke, muchengeti wako haangakotsiri;

May he not suffer thy foot to be moved: neither let him slumber that keepeth thee.

4 zvirokwazvo, muchengeti waIsraeri haangakotsiri kana kuvata.

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

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

The Lord is thy keeper, the Lord is thy protection upon thy right hand.

6 zuva haringakubayi masikati, kana mwedzi usiku.

The sun shall not burn thee by day: nor the moon by night.

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

The Lord keepeth thee from all evil: may the Lord keep thy soul.

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

May the Lord keep thy going in and thy going out; from henceforth now and for ever.
