Mapisarema 121

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

A Song of Ascents. I will lift up mine eyes, unto the mountains, From whence cometh my help!

2 Rubatsiro rwangu runobva kuna Jehovha, muiti wokudenga napasi.

My help, is from Yahweh, who made heavens and earth.

3 Haangatenderi rutsoka rwako kuti rutedzemuke, muchengeti wako haangakotsiri;

May he not suffer thy foot, to slip, May thy keeper, not slumber!

4 zvirokwazvo, muchengeti waIsraeri haangakotsiri kana kuvata.

Lo! neither will slumber nor sleep, The keeper of Israel.

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

Yahweh, is thy keeper, Yahweh, is thy shade, on thy right hand:

6 zuva haringakubayi masikati, kana mwedzi usiku.

By day, the sun, shall not smite, nor, the moon, by night.

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

Yahweh, will keep thee from all harm, He will keep thy life.

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

Yahweh, will keep thy going out and thy coming in, from henceforth, even unto times age-abiding.
