Mapisarema 121

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

[A Song of Ascents.] I will lift up my eyes to the hills. Where does my help come from?

2 Rubatsiro rwangu runobva kuna Jehovha, muiti wokudenga napasi.

My help comes from YHWH, who made heaven and earth.

3 Haangatenderi rutsoka rwako kuti rutedzemuke, muchengeti wako haangakotsiri;

He will not allow your foot to be moved. He who keeps you will not slumber.

4 zvirokwazvo, muchengeti waIsraeri haangakotsiri kana kuvata.

Look, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

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

YHWH is your keeper. YHWH is your shade on your right hand.

6 zuva haringakubayi masikati, kana mwedzi usiku.

The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.

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

YHWH will keep you from all evil. He will keep your soul.

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

YHWH will keep your going out and your coming in, from this time forth, and forevermore.
