Mapisarema 121

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

A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. I lift up my eyes to the hills, From where does my help come?

2 Rubatsiro rwangu runobva kuna Jehovha, muiti wokudenga napasi.

My help [is] from YHWH, Maker of the heavens and earth,

3 Haangatenderi rutsoka rwako kuti rutedzemuke, muchengeti wako haangakotsiri;

He does not permit your foot to be moved, He who is preserving you does not slumber.

4 zvirokwazvo, muchengeti waIsraeri haangakotsiri kana kuvata.

Behold, He does not slumber, nor sleep, He who is preserving Israel.

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

YHWH [is] He who is preserving you, YHWH [is] your shade on your right hand,

6 zuva haringakubayi masikati, kana mwedzi usiku.

By day the sun does not strike you, Nor the moon by night.

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

YHWH preserves you from all evil, He preserves your soul.

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

YHWH preserves your going out and your coming in, From now on—even for all time!
