Mapisarema 121

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

A song of ascents. I will lift up my eyes to the mountains. O whence shall help for me come?

2 Rubatsiro rwangu runobva kuna Jehovha, muiti wokudenga napasi.

From the Lord comes help to me the creator of heaven and earth.

3 Haangatenderi rutsoka rwako kuti rutedzemuke, muchengeti wako haangakotsiri;

Your foot he will not let totter: he who guards you will not sleep.

4 zvirokwazvo, muchengeti waIsraeri haangakotsiri kana kuvata.

The guardian of Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

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

The Lord is he who guards you your shelter upon your right hand.

6 zuva haringakubayi masikati, kana mwedzi usiku.

The sun by day shall not strike you, nor the moon by night.

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

From all evil the Lord will guard you, he will guard your life.

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

The Lord will guard your going and coming from now and for evermore.
