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. From where will my help come?

2 Rubatsiro rwangu runobva kuna Jehovha, muiti wokudenga napasi.

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

3 Haangatenderi rutsoka rwako kuti rutedzemuke, muchengeti wako haangakotsiri;

He will not allow your foot to slip; he who protects you will not slumber.

4 zvirokwazvo, muchengeti waIsraeri haangakotsiri kana kuvata.

See, the guardian of Israel never slumbers or sleeps.

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

Yahweh is your guardian; Yahweh is the shade at 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;

Yahweh will protect you from all harm, and he will protect your life.

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

Yahweh will protect you in all you do now and forevermore.
