< Mapisarema 121 >
1 Rwiyo rworwendo. Ndinosimudzira meso angu kumakomo, kubatsirwa kwangu kunobvepiko?
“A song for the degrees.” I lift up my eyes unto the mountains: whence shall come my help?
2 Rubatsiro rwangu runobva kuna Jehovha, muiti wokudenga napasi.
My help is from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.
3 Haangatenderi rutsoka rwako kuti rutedzemuke, muchengeti wako haangakotsiri;
He will not suffer thy foot to slip: thy keeper doth not slumber.
4 zvirokwazvo, muchengeti waIsraeri haangakotsiri kana kuvata.
Behold, he slumbereth not, and he sleepeth not—the keeper of Israel.
5 Jehovha anokurinda, Jehovha ndiye mumvuri wako kuruoko rwako rworudyi;
The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade, he is on thy right hand.
6 zuva haringakubayi masikati, kana mwedzi usiku.
By day the sun shall not strike thee, nor the moon by night.
7 Jehovha achakuchengeta pane zvose zvinokuvadza, iye acharinda upenyu hwako;
The Lord will guard thee against all evil: he will guard thy soul.
8 Jehovha achakurinda pakubuda kwako napakupinda kwako, kubva zvino uye nokusingaperi.
The Lord will guard thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth and for evermore.
